Leading the exhibition to accelerate the reconstruction and release of urban land resources
To discuss the land debate for sustainable development in Hong Kong, the consultation period will be completed at the end of this month. At the end of this month, the Chief Strategy Officer of the Link (0823), Mr Chum Siu-yiu, said that in addition to studying overseas, Hong Kong could also release a lot of urban renewal. Land can be used as an additional option for the existing 18 options; Qiu pointed out that after consulting with the expert group including the former Director of the Planning Department, Ling Jiaqin, he is currently writing and preparing to submit land supply and urban planning to the SAR Government. The submissions, including the relocation of more trades to the New Territories and the injection of more green areas into the urban areas, will enable Hong Kong to continue to develop.
Among the 18 new land supply options for the land debate, Chuan Zhaozhen considered that reclamation is a preferred option. He also agreed to increase the plot ratio to make more effective use of land space.
In fact, the LDC also proposes alternatives to the option that urban aging buildings are like “time bombs”. The Government should start to study the redevelopment of buildings (mainly urban areas) of 50 years or above. In addition to the multi-land resources, it can also activate the living environment in the area, which will increase the flow of the mouth to increase the regional development potential and productivity.
Refers to an aging building like a “time bomb”
When asked about the time required for reconstruction, and the need to resettle the residents in the district, it may not be able to solve the problem of land supply in the short term. Qiu responded that the problem of building aging is imminent, and it is necessary to rebuild sooner or later. “Long pain is better than short pain.”
In the face of the shortage of land supply, he quoted the data as saying that 76% of Hong Kong’s total land area of about 1,100 square kilometers is classified as a country park and other green land, but it has been described as “stone forest”. On the contrary, Singapore, which is regarded as Hong Kong’s main competitor, has a total land area of about 720 square kilometers. The country’s green belt is also nearly 40% smaller than Hong Kong, but it has a reputation as a “garden city”. In the case of urban planning, the new greening of the urban area and the green areas of the country are clearly separated. “Even if there are many country parks, the public can’t enjoy it. It is useless.”
Hong Kong’s integration into the development of the Greater Bay Area
It is understood that the submissions of the Linkage mentioned that Hong Kong will face severe challenges such as an aging population and a shortage of labor in the next 20 to 30 years. Therefore, urban planning development should be extended to Hong Kong, Macau and Macau. To maintain Hong Kong’s long-term competitiveness and achieve higher economic returns.
Qiu Zhaoyu pointed out that regardless of population, size or per capita GDP, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Dawan District will surpass Japan’s Tokyo Bay Area, the US New York Bay Area, San Francisco Bay Area, and with the completion of the Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail. After the opening of the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residence permit, Hong Kong and Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Dawan District have truly formed a “one-hour living circle”. The urban planning concept of Hong Kong should not be limited to the south of the Shenzhen River.
