HKAC, HKIUD, PGBC Joint event in Conservation Series #2: Seminar on Conserving Central and Archi-walk to Central


In less than 200 years, Central has witnessed the transformation of Hong Kong from a fishing village into an entrepot; and, more recently into today's modern metropolis and global financial centre. Today Central is the administrative centre of Hong Kong and home to many international and Mainland financial and business corporations. While myriad fascinating new high-rise buildings have been constructed over time, numerous examples of original architecture remain preserved within the cityscape. All of this has been fused and distilled into the distinct Central we see today.
