WELCOME MESSAGE

CICID* was established at The University of Hong Kong in partnership with construction industry leaders, to address parallel and pressing needs for both ‘infrastructure development’ and ‘construction industry development’. The twin imperatives for the sustainable development of our infrastructure and our construction industry, are by no means limited to Hong Kong, nor indeed to China or Asia.

Developed countries are struggling to deal with the rehabilitation or replacement of their older infrastructure, while developing countries are scrambling to meet rapid demands for new infrastructure. Secondly construction industry reforms remain another hot topic worldwide, as countries strive to improve industry systems, cultures, quality, health & safety and overall value; while reducing project costs and durations, accidents, disputes and any elements of corruption.

We invite those interested in the above issues to join CICID in our quest for sustainable value and continuous developments. You are welcome to join in our research projects, events and activities. For example, you may link up with our Task Forces on themes such as ‘Public Private Partnerships’; ‘Sustainability’ and ‘Construction Law’, or join specific events that are publicised from time to time.
