    Hong Kong's role in the 15th Five-Year Plan / Urban greenness and mental health / Belgian Days 2025

    Presenters:Philip Wong and Rainbow Leung


    On Friday's Backchat, we discussed Hong Kong's role in the nation's 15th five-year plan. A forum that recently took place in the city brought together industry leaders from the mainland and the SAR to discuss how the Greater Bay Area can accelerate progress in realising the national blueprint amid economic uncertainties.
    After the break, we learned about the ideal level of urban greenness that's needed to maximise people's well-being, following the release of a study.
    And from there, we take you to a world of chocolate. The Belgian Consulate in Hong Kong is organising the "Belgian Days 2025" which starts today and runs till the 23rd. The Belgian Deputy Consul General told us about how the event aims to celebrate friendship and collaboration between communities in Hong Kong and Belgium.
