Mr. CHUNG Pui-lam (in Cantonese):
Sir, to meet with the demographic, social and economic
development of Hong Kong, the Land Development Corporation should
be legally authorised to play a very important role in the
of some
area, the improvement if refdevelopment part of the urban area, improving the living
the enhancement if
environment and enhancing a modernized living in this territory.
I am a
л
a Member of the Board of the Provisional Land
Development Corporation and I welcome the Bill before Council.
I believe this Bill already incorporates the correct legal spirit enabling the Corporation to work according to the principles
مان
of all public enterprises and to realife as legal responsibilities.
As we all know,
Λ
At this common ground that Hong Kong has been very
successful at the promotion of the new towns and in new towne
15
projects in the past fifteen years, and, Sir, you have further
said and I quote The Government hope that within the next five
years the Corporation will make a real and positive impact on
the urban environment
We have the same aspirations, confidence and targets.
is that The most important factor the new towns have been providing
л
more and more infrastructure for the new territories so that
the new territories now house two thirds of the 5.6 million
people in Hong Kong. In order to ensure that there is a
comprehensive balanced and stable development all over the
territory, we must do something about the densely populated
urban areas, especially on both sides of the harbour where
we find very old and dilapidated areas. They should be given
priority in redevelopment.
