This study outlines a total of 22 opportunities and strategies based on urban functionality and typology to help communities better prepare for and mitigate the effects of the next pandemic.

Almost every big life change, from starting a new school to changing jobs or moving towns, elicits the same advice: get involved and make friends. While there’s some truth to that guidance, it takes more than simply participating in activities to grow a social network, according to research by an international team.

Lingnan University constantly seeks to attract talented students with diverse talents. This year, through its Student-Athlete Learning Support and Admission Scheme (SALSA), the University has admitted five outstanding athletes: cyclists Yeung Cho-yiu, Phoebe Tung, and Liang King-hung, rower Head Jaden Li, and taekwondo athlete Lam Siu-wai. All five will pursue the Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Sports Coaching and Event Management (SCEM) in the 2025/26 academic year, and the University will provide complete support to ensure well-balanced development in both academia and athletics.

Migrant domestic helpers (MDHs) account for approximately one-tenth of Hong Kong’s labour force. For a deeper understanding of public perceptions, Lingnan University’s Department of English recently released a survey report examining the social recognition and respect shown towards MDHs in Hong Kong, revealing that nearly half of respondents have had no direct contact with MDHs. Almost 20 per cent (18.7%) have a negative impression of MDHs, and the majority of respondents think social media is the medium that shows the least respect towards them. To improve public understanding and awareness, Lingnan scholars have written bilingual (Chinese and English) “Guidelines for Writing about Migrant Domestic Helpers on Social Media”, which can be accessed free online. These guidelines aim to reduce bias and stereotypes associated with MDHs.
