ABSTRACT
Planners have sought to mitigate the adverse impacts of high-density living through various interventions. This research looks into one of the planning responses for this purpose, namely, the implementation of skywalk systems in Hong Kong. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, the identified impacts of skywalk systems are validated by the community, stakeholders and experts. The effectiveness of skywalk systems as a strategic response to high density living is evaluated, and recommendations are put forward to planners and decision-makers.
