Synopsis
Lantau is a double gateway to the World and the rapidly growing Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay
Area. Taking this strategic locational
advantage, Lantau and its adjoining areas offer
tremendous opportunities to meet challenges of Hong Kong, such as high demand
for housing land and quality living environment, traffic congestion in between
New Territories and urban area, inadequate social welfare facilities
particularly for the aging population, lack of solution space for urban renewal
and keen global economic competition etc.
Chief Executive announced Lantau Tomorrow Vision in her 2018 Policy
Address. It propels the following five policy directions in
developing Lantau:
unleashing land potential, increasing land
supply and developing a liveable near carbon-neutral city; according priority to transport infrastructure,
reinforcing advantages of a “Double Gateway”; developing the aerotropolis and the third Core
Business District to promote economic development; enhancing environmental capacity for
sustainable development; and increasing leisure and entertainment facilities to promote a healthy
lifestyle.
While
some consider Lantau Tomorrow a visionary plan guiding the sustainable growth
of Hong Kong in the future 20-30 years, some others criticize it as a White
Elephant. Let’s have an evidence-based
discussion on Lantau Tomorrow in the upcoming Seminar.
