Speaker Luncheon Series VI – Prof Carolyn Cartier
Professor Cartier introduced the value of the 'front' and 'back' regions of a city, and how the nature of the city, including its topography, waterfront, people and culture, provide tourism value far greater than those of commercialized attractions (touristed landscapes). This was discussed with a case study of San Francisco and in relation to Hong Kong's arts, culture, politics and waterfront development planning.
