Reimagining Urban Skyways: Balancing Innovation with Sustainability in City Planning The authors elucidate the frequently disregarded yet crucial impact of urban skyways on city spatial patterns.

The text underscores the nexus between skyways and urban space creation, noting their adoption for aggregating transportation, commercial activities, and property value. Looking forward, as we think about where city planning is headed, it seems crucial to me to think

We can find skyways and footbridges everywhere, from housing estates to big shopping malls. Although the passage does not talk a lot about the underground tunnel, I think the underground tunnel system is also a very important

In my opinion, these kinds of complex interconnections are the things that Hong Kong need to conserve as they represent Hong Kong at its core. We see
