HK combines high densities and quality environment
Hong Kong has undergone a remarkable three-dimensional transformation that has established the territory as a world leader in the field of urban design and architecture, the Secretary for Planning, Environment and Lands, Mr Tony Eason, said today (Monday).
Speaking at the opening ceremony of an exhibition entitled "Hong Kong - City of Vision", Mr Eason said Hong Kong had been able to demonstrate convincingly that high densities and a high quality environment could be successfully combined.
"And, in the process, other significant benefits can be produced, as illustrated
by the efficiency with which our city generally functions.
"All this is testimony to the vision, skill, dedication and hard work of our business entrepreneurs, planners, architects, engineers, contractors and all those who are involved in Hong Kong's progressive physical transformation," he said.
The exhibition in the 46th floor Sky Lobby of Central Plaza is open to public between 8.30 am and 7.30 pm until April 30. Admission is free.
It features building models, designs and photographs of notable architectural and development projects in the territory.
