Overview of HK 2030+ Proposals

3

Building Block 1

• Promote “age-friendly” planning and design concepts

• Rejuvenation of the dilapidated urban areas

• Form the “green and blue asset system” networks

• Incorporate urban climatic and air ventilation

considerations into planning

• Embrace the “active design” concept, eg promote

walking and cycling

• Allow buffer in the development capacity

• Adopt a higher ratio of 3.5 sm per person for GIC uses

(vs 2.2 sm Sha Tin New Town)

• Adopt a higher ratio of a min 2.5 sm per person for open

space (vs 2sm now)

4

Building Block 2

• Land Req for Econ Uses about 300ha

• Grade A Office GFA from 9M sm to 14M+ sm

• Market driven industries GFA from 20M sm to 29M sm

• More land for the pillar industries, emerging industries,

modern industries, innovation and technology uses,

small and medium enterprises, innovation start-ups and

creative industries

• New tourist attractions, more high-grade hotels and more

exhibition and convention facilities

• Take forward the agricultural park initiative and review

the existing farmland for preserving farmland with good

agricultural rehabilitation potential

5

Building Block 3 • Total new land req = 4800ha, Total committed and planned land

supply = 3600ha, Outstanding land req = 1200+ha

– Housing 200ha, Econ Uses 300ha, GIC, Open Space, … 700ha

• Two Strategic Growth Areas are stated

– East Lantau Metropolis (ELM)

– New Territories North (NTN)

• Promote an integrated smart, green and resilient infrastructure

system to enhance the synergy effect and land efficiency

• Protecting areas of high ecological value, revitalising water bodies

and abandoned farmland, setting up nature park, advancing urban

ecology and urban biodiversity, and promoting eco-shorelines and

other blue-green infrastructure

• Improving air quality through env friendly transport and better wind

env, protecting water gathering grounds, using waste-to-energy

approaches to reduce use of resources, restoring degraded areas

such as landfills and quarries, etc

6

Strategic Growth Areas SGA

7

Spatial Framework

• Built-up area

– From 268 sq. km to 324 sq. km

– Natural land areas from 540 sq. km to 545+ sq. km

– Natural marine areas from 24 sq. km to 84+ sq. km

– Jobs in the non-Metro Area from 24% to 38%

– 75% population and 85% jobs within railway catchment

SWOT

Dr. Edward Yiu


Hong Kong 2016-2020

Paper 1

http://www.hk2030plus.hk/explore.asp?form=31

HK in the Global Context

• A. Positioning of HK

• B. Global Megatrends

• C. SWOT Analysis • http://www.hk2030plus.hk/document/Hong%20Kong%20in%20the%20Global%20Context_Eng.pdf

10

Competitiveness Oriented

11

Agenda is More Land Supply

12

No data, no analysis, no

scientific support can be

found on this conclusion

Weaknesses

• Limited Developable Land

• Sustainable to External Economic Shocks

• Relatively Weak in Innovation and

Technology

• Relatively Weak in Cultural Character

• Environmental Issues

13

What Should be Done?

Opportunities

• Broadening Economic Base and

Transforming the Economy

• Regional and Mainland Opportunities

• Land Supply and Strategic Development

Opportunities

• Compact, Liveable and Healthy City

• Create Environmental Capacity

14 What Should be Done?

Threats

• Keen Competition from Other Cities

• Ageing Population and Shrinking Labour

Force

• Ageing Building Stock

• Climate Change

• Resources Availability

15

What Should be Done?

16

Recreational and Community Farming

(RCF)

Dr. Edward Yiu


Hong Kong 2016-2020

Paper 2

RCF as a Strategic Direction

• RCF plays a positive part in Building Block

1 to enhance liveability of our high-density

city by setting up community green

networks and

• Also in Building Block 3 to create capacity

for sustainable growth through contributing

in urban greening and green infrastructure

of the city.

17

No designation of farmland

requirement, or RCF policy

Issues on RCF

• Proper irrigation and drainage system

• Structural capacity and loading of rooftop

• Public access

• Compatibility with surrounding

environment

• Parking / loading / unloading

• Implementation aspects

18 Not intend for food supply!

19

Agricultural Uses

Dr. Edward Yiu


Hong Kong 2016-2020

Paper 3

Strategic Directions for Agri

• Intends to acquire land for the Agri-Park

through resumption of private farmland

• Commissions a consultancy study to

examine the feasibility of identifying

clusters of farmland as Agricultural Priority

Areas (APAs) • A 37ha Nature Park in Kwu Tung North and

Fanling North NDAs,

• A 45ha AGR zone in Long Valley

• A 12ha AGR zone in Fanling North
