Abstract
(1) The First Decade
AIA Hong Kong is celebrating its 10th Anniversary. Several events have crowned this first decade, notably the 10th Honors and Awards ceremony in early November and a special exhibition highlighting AIA's contribution to Hong Kong's urban development. But the anniversary was also an opportunity to invite current and past Executive Committee members to a round-table for a look back at AIA's history and a discussion of its present and upcoming roles in Hong Kong, China and the region.
