Housing holds immense significance within urban cities, as it serves as a vital space that directly impacts the well-being of its occupants. It is crucial to consider not only the physical aspects of the environment but also the social and mental needs of individuals in order to create a true sense of home. With the story of #wellbeing matters, we explore how housing design can be a loveable home journey. Our focus lies in exploring how housing can serve as a powerful social tool to enhance social mobility and elevate the quality of life for residents.

A sense of home goes beyond mere shelter; it encompasses a profound sense of belonging and attachment to one’s living environment. A journey towards a lovable home entails providing not just a secure and safe dwelling, but also creating conditions that enable individuals to establish meaningful connections within their communities.

  • Can specific living styles facilitate affordable and high-quality housing?
  • Can affordable housing have the potential to enhance mental health and well-being?
  • Can housing design effectively address the concept of well-being?

We hope to explore more.

The Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong government collects and publishes data on housing-related indicators, including living conditions, housing affordability, overcrowding, and housing satisfaction. While quantitative data can provide insights into certain aspects of housing conditions and their impact on well-being, capturing the full scope of individual perceptions and experiences can be challenging. We hope the initiative can move the discussion forward.
