讲座摘要：

The construction industry around the world is suffering a conspicuous recession, evidenced by limited construction expenditure, solvency of construction companies, and so on. On the other hand, the recession also provides an opportunity for construction stakeholders to tap into Industry 4.0 technologies. They started from the adoption of some digital technologies and gradually move to digital transformation, with a view to developing ‘new quality productive forces’. In this talk, Prof. Lu will share some of the experiences of construction digital transformation in Hong Kong and elsewhere. On top of that, he will also explore the prospects and challenges of this construction digital transformation journey, particularly amidst the highly violate global construction market.
