International Urban Forestry Conference is a premier platform held biennially in Hong Kong for renowned international experts, decision-makers, academics, and industry professionals to exchange insights, research findings, best practices for enhancing the livability and resilience of our city. With the increased attention on urban forestry worldwide, many cities conducted research and adopted different practices in urban forestry management. The Conference acts as a new endeavour to build up the capability of local industry practitioners and offers an opportunity for practitioners and the public to draw on foreign experiences ranging from tree care to holistic planning and management of urban forests.
