U
rban Resilience Lab (URL) is founded on a
principle that “public-private partnership (PPP) is
a key driver of balanced, healthy city development”. The
core of PPP requires an active workforce with multi-
disciplinary skills and a strong sense of innovation to
tackle complex urban issues. URL supports Hong
Kong’s population of young professionals and
graduates to be industry leaders of PPP management
in Asia.
URL aggregates the latest PPP knowledge and case
studies across the world. URL aims to be a top “training
center” for PPP managers and leaders. URL builds a
high quality talent network to facilitate the human
resource needs in PPP projects. This is a rare asset
because the cross-sector nature of urban development
often needs professionals with both a strong technical
foundation and holistic problem solving mindset. With
the above, URL directly improves the quality of PPP
projects to help poverty alleviation and social inclusion.
The Urban Resilience Lab is a development program
operation founded by Good City Foundation, with a
team of diversity in Hong Kong and Asia. The Proposal
is seeking up to 4,000,000 HKD for a seed capital for
financing the first 3 years of initial working capital as
grant to the Foundation, and subsequent equity taking
in subsidiary venture firm “Rainmaker Ventures”,
currently holding 6 portfolios.
Executive Summary

I
n the past decades, rapid urbanization and city infrastructure have brought economic growth to many cities in
Asia, including Hong Kong. We are moving into the second wave of urban development, which has shifted the
focus from speed of growth to living quality and sustainability. The Urban Resilience Lab noted there are still
large gaps in our cities in terms of basic affordability, equal social opportunities, economic mobility and global
connectivity or relevance.
Second Wave of Urban Development
Based on The Urban Resilience Lab’s literature review, field research and interview
with key stakeholders, cross-sector collaboration is urgently needed as the
current urban challenges are too complicated to be tackled in silos by individual
sector experts. Resource constraints is another reason that different groups in a
society should work together.
PPP traditionally covers subjects such as rail, road and utility projects. But in
recent years, it has broadened to industry and social infrastructure projects, such
as health, education, access to technology, financial literacy, environment etc.
Many cities have experimented with different forms of PPP but such knowledge
has not been properly documented and shared with other cities.
The Urban Resilience Lab acknowledged “resilience” is an important yet often
overlooked feature of cities, especially in light of the series of challenges faced by
society in Hong Kong since 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 brought
city-wide stress to the highest point of all times. When the world is expecting to
experience more unforeseen crises ranging from climate change to economic
disruptions, The Urban Resilience Lab sees a pressing need to strengthen cities’
flexibility and capacity to handle crises, develop fall-back plans and mobilize
human resources for essential protection of all people.
A new industry to “professionalize” public-private partnership (PPP) is therefore
born and it has a unique characteristic - These practitioners usually come from
diverse backgrounds (skills, gender, ethnic minority and nationality), so they are
well equipped to provide a wide range of capabilities and input needed in PPP
projects. The industry is fairly green and unstructured. It needs a strong talent
pipeline to continuously meet the demand from cities who are eager to adopt PPP
in their places.

Partnerships (PPP)
An Industry’s Need
for Multidisciplinary
Talents

T
he Urban Resilience Lab promotes public-private
partnership (PPP) to tackle urban issues with a
focus on quality and sustainability. It is an action-
oriented, human resources-driven platform that:
(i) supports a new industry of PPP management in
Hong Kong;
(ii) introduces effective solutions to address urban
challenges;
(iii) empowers local young gradvuates of all disciplines;
(iv) achieves diversification of Hong Kong’s economic
structure.
The Urban Resilience Lab is the solution to above
social problems through three levels. In 2019, The
Urban Resilience Lab has a track record of launching 3
PPP projects in the areas of affordable housing, eco-
tourism, fin-tech in rural areas, and food sustainability.
All these contribute to poverty alleviation and social
inclusion.
Urban Resilience Lab

First, The Urban Resilience Lab aims to become a top “knowledge
center” of the latest and most advanced PPP knowledge and case
studies all across the world. The Urban Resilience Lab can
consolidate all the lessons learnt and develop a set of best
practices. The Urban Resilience Lab supports public actors, private
sector and civil society organizations to execute PPP projects at
different scales. The Urban Resilience Lab plays an important role
as the “intellectual foundation” or, for ease of understanding, “brain”
of PPP management in Asia.
Centralizing PPP Knowledge
1
To go a step further beyond knowledge, The Urban Resilience Lab
has already built solid connections with 20+ PPP stakeholders from
China, Southeast Asia (Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand etc.),
Japan, South Asia (Sri Lanka, Bangladesh etc.) and Africa
(Tanzania, Nigeria etc.). The Urban Resilience Lab has access to a
vast database of real-life PPP projects for research and
participation purposes. The Urban Resilience Lab directly
contributes to these projects with our expertise and experience.
This can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the solution to
address urban challenges.
Managing PPP Projects
2
Last but not least, The Urban Resilience Lab supports Hong Kong’s
large, educated population of young professionals and graduates to
be well positioned as an industry leader of PPP management in
Asia. The Urban Resilience Lab aims to become a top “training
center” for PPP managers and leaders. The Urban Resilience Lab
builds a high quality talent matching network to facilitate the large
human resource needs in PPP projects. This is a rare asset because
the cross-sector nature of urban development often needs
professionals with both a strong technical foundation and a PPP-
specific problem solving mindset.

RECORD
TRACK
F
ounders of the Urban Resilience Lab have earned
best practices and deep insights through their first-
hand experiences of managing PPP projects in different
roles (e.g. public and international actors like World
Bank and United Nations, academia, private companies)
and of different sizes (e.g. grassroots micro PPP, sector
specific, city and provincial level projects). The
composition of The Urban Resilience Lab management
team is intrinsically diverse in terms of gender, skills,
experience and socioeconomic background.
The parent organization of The Urban Resilience Lab
has organized 5 years of annual conferences to discuss
urban related challenges serving over 500+ delegates in
total. In 2019, The Urban Resilience Lab has a track
record of launching 3 PPP projects in the areas of
affordable housing, eco-tourism, fin-tech in rural areas,
and food sustainability. All these contribute to poverty
alleviation and social inclusion. Partners involved in the
projects are mainly grassroots NGOs and small medium
enterprises owned by underprivileged.
Our Track Record and Competitiveness

• Youth in Hong Kong: new professional skills in the development sector
(public private partnership in urban economic development, governance
and technology), with a transformed mentality of social resilience in
society.
• Ethnic Minorities in Hong Kong: new professional skills in the
development sector and inclusive engagement in society in Hong Kong for
achieving high cultural resilience in society.
Primary Beneficiary and Output
• Low Income Families
• Elderly
• Persons with Disabilities
Secondary Beneficiary and Output
• A stream of new young future workforce professionals in an emerging
segment of development (Public private partnership in urban economic
design and urban governance) with high social awareness.
• Action-tank with urban design-oriented research, knowledge transfer of
urban success and case studies in Asia to Hong Kong as a future resilient
city.
• Develop a holistic and high inclusive society for all walks of life, to attain
stronger economic competitiveness in the region.
Desirable Outcomes

A
s mentioned, PPP is a key driver of balanced,
healthy city development. PPP are often designed
to tackle a specific issue of industry and social
infrastructure, such as health, education, access to
technology, financial literacy, environment etc. PPP
directly improves the economic and other social
inequalities in cities. Output and effectiveness are very
important. But PPP requires a long learning process for
all parties to better set expectations, carry out division
of labor, and foster transparent communication. A
respectful and responsible attitude to everyone is also
a necessary condition during the project
implementation process. Therefore, The Urban
Resilience Lab’s knowledge consolidation and direct
contribution via expertise and talent can help ensure
the above is achieved.
Higher Quality of
PPP Projects for Better
Society

The Urban Resilience Lab helps to create a
new thriving industry of PPP management in
Hong Kong. This can have a long-term
catalytic effect in the local economy because
of the net job creation and increased
economic productivity. The industry provides
promising and viable career opportunities to
young graduates in Hong Kong. Regardless of
their academic training and individual
background, their voices are valued by the
industry due to the diversity nature of PPP
projects.
The PPP management industry is non-rent-
seeking by nature and its ecosystem can
strengthen Hong Kong’s global image as a city
center of new ideas. Hong Kong is traditionally
known to have high quality talents in law,
business, finance, real estate etc. It is high
time to bring their expertise into the PPP
sector and also elevate other professions such
as urban planning and engineering.
Diversification of human resources and
economic structure is a way of urban
resilience.
Economic Diversification in Hong Kong
A B

The Urban Resilience Lab relies on training
young people to be PPP management
professionals and practitioners. As the industry
is fairly green and unstructured, it gives
substantial economic mobility opportunities to
young people. The support system designed by
The Urban Resilience Lab also increases the
likelihood of young people working with and
hiring one another. Hence, The Urban Resilience
Lab achieves sustainable local job creation,
boosts skilled youth employment and
stimulates this age group’s abundant creativity.
More youths in Hong Kong can develop a
stronger sense of self-reliance, economic
resilience and long-term meaningful
livelihoods. The PPP industry involves research
and case studies of other cities. Young people
can broaden their horizon, find relevance
between their own work and the world, as well
as build closer connectivity with the place they
live in. Hong Kong as a society can be an
attractive place for young people to fulfill their
potential.
Youth Inclusion, Empowerment and Self-Reliance
A B

The Urban Resilience Lab in Hong Kong is an
aggregated urban design-driven action-tank for
empowering and nurturing young leaders in public and
private sectors in Hong Kong as the knowledge centre,
with Hong Kong as the city-brain to drive strategic
urban resilience development in Asia.

Urban Resilience Lab serves to be an action-tank and
platform for the youth in Hong Kong to gather and get
engaged and trained with the latest regional
developments and public private partnership in Asia,
especially in the case of urban economic designs and
urban governance with social and technology
innovation.
While training programs would be provided to the youth
in Hong Kong, selected youth would be also invited to
engage deeper as young professional to participate in
the overseas Development Programs (“Public Private
Partnership by Youth”) in Southeast Asia for delivering
structural knowledge to local partners and hence
absorbing new experience and building new
confidence of self. As the youth in Hong Kong gathered
further professional horizons in Asia, identified urban
solutions in Asia would be consolidated as part of the
urban research and think tank project in Hong Kong.
With the potential urban development pilot sites in
Hong Kong, the transferred and crystalised urban
solutions in Asia would be integrated and implemented
in various communities in Hong Kong to deliver
stronger community empowerment, urban
transformation and local empowerment.
Future City Summit is an Annual Meet for graduated
professional trainees in public private partnership
programs to attend, review and demonstrate the
implementations with impacts towards a global
network of stakeholders and partners in Asia and the
rest of the world.
Through the above ecosystem of empowerment and
building of new industry of public private partnership in
Hong Kong, youth in Hong Kong would be highly
empowered and build up further self-internal
confidence of future and resilience towards their
identity in society. Together with the urban solutions
trial implemented, communities in Hong Kong would be
organically more inclusive and resilient. The society
would be more united to address the deep-rooted
challenges of poverty through social innovation by
youth.

been playing an influential
As explained in the graph above, Urban Resilience Lab
(represented by mother organisation “Future City
Summit Limited”) serves as an action-tank and
platform to empower the youth in Hong Kong as a
relevant professional workforce to bridge the gap
among the private sectors, private wealth, traditional
industries and the regional development agenda and
sustainable development goals.
While there are several existing organisations and think
tanks such as Our Hong Kong Foundation, Research
Centre for Urban and Regional Development in the
Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong
Policy Research Institute, the Urban Resilience Lab
stands a unique value proposition as it provides as
sequence of value conversion, from youth workforce
empowerment and professional training, knowledge
base and case studies documentation to action-driven
urban solution implementation in cities and Hong
Kong. The “one-stop-shop” vertical value-chain
development model would be led by a lean team of
young entrepreneurs, scholars and professionals as a
bridge to connect resources in Hong Kong to regional
development agenda, achieving urban resilience in
Hong Kong society.

Good City Foundation (GCF) is a regional multilateral
development organization founded in 2016 and
headquartered in Hong Kong SAR, China, with the first
seed fund provided by the Global Partnership Seed
Fund, Vice President Office of The University of Hong
Kong. The Foundation sets forth a progressive image
for the future development of Asia in the context of
global relations. More specifically, the Foundation
provides a bold re-imagination of Hong Kong’s role and
relevance in the region – aiming to become a key
connector of new generation leaders from public and
private sectors in emerging cities, supporting them to
mobilize partnerships and resources for real-world
projects.
The Foundation is firmly based with central
connectivity of heart in Hong Kong. A bottom-up,
youth-led approach has been adopted since its
establishment to proactively drive new agendas and
important projects for the acceleration and innovation
of socioeconomic development in Asia and strategic
engagement in China. Such design re-unites young
leaders and stakeholders across sectors in China and
Hong Kong SAR, which is conducive to fostering a
more harmonious and entrepreneurial spirit in public-
private cooperation.
The Foundation has received prominent, world-
renowned guests such as Prof. Muhammad Yunus,
Founder of Grameen Bank and Nobel Peace Prize
Laureate 2006, Dr. Monica Ebele Idinoba, Principal
Scientific Officer of African Union and The Hon, Mrs.
Regina Ip GBS. JP., a member of Executive Council of
Hong Kong SAR Government, along with other
influential partners such as Asian Development Bank,
Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of Kingdom of
Cambodia and Urban Development Authority of Sri
Lanka.
Furthermore, an important initiative, “Emerging Future
Cities Network”, was born from the substantial external
communication and connection work done by the
Foundation. Currently there are around 30 city partners,
each working on a deep-dive of high-potential sectors,
such as affordable housing, rural banking services,
eco-tourism and more. The network has been highly
instrumental in making real progress in development
projects and achieving tangible social impact in the
respective emerging cities.
