The<br>module introduced broader issues such as campus metabolism, stakeholders and beneficiaries, climate challenges,<br>bioregional relationships, and Hong Kong\u2019s urban\u2013rural\u2013natural transitions. This perspective is further extended<br>to the scale of the Greater Bay Area (GBA), encouraging students to consider cross-scale relationships between<br>local sites, regional systems, and wider environmental networks.
