SKYPARK urban park is the concept for a private park on top of a condo complex in Hong Kong's Kowloon District.
The SKYPARK urban park is designed by cultural entrepreneur Adrian Cheng from 'New World Development Company' in collaboration with Dutch architectural firm 'Concrete.'
Sitting 28 stories above the ground, the park would feature a rooftop garden and clubhouse that includes a library, swimming pool and gym. An exterior stairway called the AURORA connects the rooftop garden to the clubhouse and offers lounge space. The SKYPARK urban park would largely be powered by solar panels, and wind turbines. The park's design also features a rainfall irrigation system to keep its grass green and glowing. As the project is nearing completion, it should serve as a unique eco-luxury experience that has never before been seen in Hong Kong.

Trend Themes
1. Rooftop Parks - The advent of rooftop parks creates opportunities for eco-luxury experiences and sustainable living in urban areas.
2. Green Infrastructure - The incorporation of sustainable design elements like solar panels, wind turbines, and rainfall irrigation systems offers new opportunities for environmentally responsible infrastructure.
3. Urban Consolidation - Building multi-use developments that combine living, leisure, and public space to preserve and enhance the limited land available in urban areas presents significant opportunities for innovative development.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - The convergence of living, leisure, and public space drives opportunities for environmentally responsible real estate development in urban areas.
2. Architecture and Design - The integration of sustainable infrastructure creates opportunities for architects and designers to create innovative and eco-friendly structures and spaces.
3. Renewable Energy - As rooftop parks utilize solar and wind power, there are opportunities for the renewable energy industry to partner with urban developers and architects to create energy-efficient spaces.
