The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a framework for infrastructure development. It will bring together peoples across the Belt and Road region and will have multiple secondary impacts and effects on the incomes, wealth, societies and cultures of the peoples and geographical regions and cities along the highways and the railway.

These major impacts and effects can be considered as first and second-order direct and indirect network externality effects ranging from changes in spatial distribution of peoples, economic and social activities to cultural enrichment, and the spread of policies, regulations, management and governmental approaches. Hong Kong’s world-class urban management can make an important contribution to help the Belt and Road countries maximise the benefits of these effects, and protect against the negative effects of greater connectivity.

Formed by HKUrbanLab researchers and collaborating with partners in the Belt and Road regions and across the world, The Belt and Road Urban Observatory (OBORobs) initiates an ambitious forward-looking research agenda to measure, evaluate, predict, influence and enhance the indirect network effects and benefits of BRI on the cities, city systems and peoples in the Belt and Road region. Its overarching aim is to help capture more network benefit, for local peoples, cities and nations as Eurasia becomes progressively connected.
