Our 2016 #VitalCitiesVitalConnections campaign saw us work with researchers around the world to assess the efficiency + sustainability of transport systems in 12 global cities. A scorecard highlighted how each city responds to a series of transport-related performance indicators.

In the third and final article of the FSF10 #VitalCitiesVitalConnections series, @SaraEVeale and Jake take a look at Hong Kong's approach to connectivity.

Our scorecard awarded Hong Kong, another global city, an overall score of C, ranking it highly on the accessibility and public transport fronts, but low for mobility and breathability.

Our other 2023 FSF Ambassador is Yasmin Nagdy, also a final-year Master’s student at @TheMSArch.

Yasmin is an aspiring built environment professional with a focus on accessible, sustainable architecture and ways to build community through design.

Yasmin's project sought to dispel emerging concerns around the 15-minute city by conceiving a new cartographic depiction of the concept involving research, ethnographic interviews and handmade tapestry.
