Background
Land supply has been an important issue to Hong Kong housing. To solve the problem, Frederick Lai has recommended to use the land of Plover Cove for housing. It has an area of about 1200 hectares. Based on a plot ratio of 2, it is estimated that the reclaimed
land can provide 300,000 flats of 650sq.ft., plus 65 million sq. ft. for non-domestic
use. The total land value can be up to $775 billion, assuming average land
price at $3,000 per sq.ft. This amount would be sufficient to build all the
necessary rails, highways, cross-sea tunnels, as well as site formation works
and infrastructure construction. Participants
can understand the idea of using Plover Cove to solve shortage of the land
supply for housing purpose in this seminar.
