At the **World Sustainable Built Environment (WSBE) Conference  2017**, the Secretary for Development, Mr. Eric Ma, has stated the importance of international collaboration on the issue.

For the exhibition, the theme of display makes reference to the traditional philosophy of man’s existence being in harmony with the environment, or **天人合一** in Chinese. 

Our ancestor already treasured the wisdom of exercising care to our environment and that is consistent with the contemporary sustainability concept of harmonious interaction between man and nature.

In this exhibition booth of the Development Bureau, we introduce three of our policy areas that contributed to the development of Hong Kong towards a sustainable built environment, that is, a *compact, efficient and low carbon city* through display of a number of projects completed or under planning by the works departments.
