Mr. Joel CHAN (2018-2020) Prof. Stephen TANG, BBS (2016-2018) Dr. Peter Cookson SMITH (2014-2016) The Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design (HKIUD, Chinese: 香港城市設計學會) is a professional body for urban designers in Hong Kong.
It was founded on 17 June 2010 with the support of Hong Kong Government who sent the Secretary for Development to officiate the inaugural launch.

The group supported a design competition for a public works bridge project in Tai O in 2012.
