They can nowadays be used for site inspection, progress photo, mobile mapping, topographic survey and volumetric calculation, project management, etc. The result would also be integrated into other modeling platforms (such as CAD, GIS and BIM) for further application. Operation and processing time of these land surveying approaches would be greatly reduced comparing to traditional surveying methods. Construction professional would be benefited from their user- friendly, time-saving and cost-effective performance. For instance, there are many infrastructure projects in Belt and Road countries and regions. Adopting these advance surveying technologies could not only enhance project efficiency and cost effectiveness, but also accumulating resource for Smart Cities establishment. Speaker has used these technologies in many construction projects, in order to accelerate the pace of engineering surveying and enrich the whole building field.

One Belt One Road Experimental Theatre - The Interrupted Dream: Chinois Dream at Château de Versailles
The Interrupted Dream is conceptualized by Asian artists from different performing art backgrounds – Classical Javanese dancer Didik Nini Thowok has always been fascinated by the concept of The Peony Pavilion, as well as Kunqu as an art form. A while ago, he translated Shan Po Yang, a song of the lead female character Du Liniang from The Interrupted Dream, one of the most famous excerpts in The Peony Pavilion, into Indonesian, and composed a new melody for it. This work then became the prelude scene of Danny Yung’s The Interrupted Dream. Together with Shen Yili, a seasoned Kunqu (traditional Chinese theatre) lead actress from Shanghai; Nget Rady, a contemporary/traditional dancer from Phnom Penh; and Makoto Matsushima, a renowned contemporary dancer / choreographer / theatre performer from Tokyo, the show epitomizes a cultural exchange among Asian cultures, and a meeting between traditional and contemporary theatre.

China-Hong Kong-Canada Infrastructure and Construction Symposium

Canada is one of the world's leading infrastructure markets, with numerous government agencies using tried-and-true Public Private Partnership (PPP) policies and methodologies to attract investment from around the world. The clarity, predictability and attractiveness of Canadian PPP processes help drive down costs, improve project outcome certainty and improve investment attractiveness for key global players. China plays a critical role in the development of infrastructure across Asia and around the world through large-scale project development, active strategic investment and critical involvement in government lead procurements worldwide. The scale and vision of China’s Belt and Road initiative, its investment in Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and its commitment to international market integration through infrastructure project development make China and Asia one of the most exciting places for infrastructure investment. This China-Hong Kong-Canada BRI Infrastructure and Construction seminar will look at key developments and emerging opportunities evolving in Canada and examine possible opportunities for continued collaboration, investment and cooperation amongst China, Hong Kong, Canada and other economies.
