CUHK’s hilly campus has approximately 500 slopes. We take a proactive approach to slope management, going beyond the statutory Dangerous Hillside (DH) requirements, to strive for much higher standards in the preservation of existing trees, slope greening and landscaping. Associated improvements such as the addition of shortcut steps, the widening of pavements and the provision of disabled access are also made wherever possible, to make the campus more pedestrian-friendly and driver-friendly.
