Our DSPS programme equips students with policy analysis and data analytical skills to solve real-world problems and make significant impacts on the community. Our year-two student, Mr. Chow Kin Long (first from the right on the photo), took up the role as the Project Officer of a recent policy research project on the urban renewal of Yau Mong District. The objectives are to gather residents’ opinions on urban renewal and to investigate the challenges faced by them. Major methods of the project involve home visiting and reporting the concerns about the urban renewal of the residents. Its findings receive wide and significant attention by the mass media as follows:
