What do you know about the subdivided units 「劏房」 in Hong Kong?

Subdivided units in Hong Kong are apartments split into multiple units, often located in old buildings within crowded, working-class areas. Despite poor conditions, high housing costs and limited public housing drive demand for these cramped living spaces for low-income residents.

This week, Dr. Patrick Yue from the Department of Biology, presented his study on the environmental health of subdivided units. He and his students visited these units to evaluate living conditions, conducting air quality measurements and microbial testing. The findings were concerning. He also brought bacterial culture samples for the students, leaving a significant impact, and demonstrated air quality testing to highlight the importance of addressing air pollution.

Today's session provided our students with deeper insights into the challenging living conditions faced by low-income residents in Hong Kong's subdivided units, as well as the pressing environmental health issues they encounter. This discussion not only heightened awareness of these social challenges but also inspired students to explore meaningful solutions for improving living environments and health conditions in these communities. We hope they will reflect on their potential roles in driving impactful change and fostering a more equitable society.

🚀 Exciting news! 🎉 The Navigator Beta team @thenavigator_s from HKBU’s Division of Transdisciplinary Undergraduate Programmes has achieved an impressive top sixteen finish in the RMUL Guangxi Region Infantry Match!

🤖Their innovative robot, featuring a holonomic wheel chassis and a sophisticated turret system, showcased our commitment to technical excellence in the 1v1 infantry battle.

Team captain Tim TANG shared, “Throughout the preparation and competition, the most valuable lesson I learned was how to coordinate and make decisions under pressure. I also gained a deeper understanding of the value of transdisciplinary collaboration, as each member‘s expertise plays an indispensable role in our robotic system.” 💪

Founded in November 2024, Navigator Beta consists of five Year1 students of Individualised Major with diverse interests and academic backgrounds, including mechanical design, electronic engineering, mathematics, creative media, and artificial intelligence. Through transdisciplinary collaboration and hands-on experience, they are dedicated to developing intelligent and high-performance robotic systems.

🌟 Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Ryan Man from the School of Business at HKBU to share his Transdisciplinary insights with our students! 📚✨

He introduced the intriguing concept of time-based currency and the applications of time banking in different countries, especially the countries in Asia Area. ⏳🤝 Time banking allows individuals to trade services using labour-time credits instead of cash, sparking a lively discussion among students on its practical applications and why it hasn't gained widespread acceptance. 🤔💬

It's such an inspiring talk for our students to think outside the box! 🙌
