Exhibition on harbour reclamations
Members of the public will be able to see how harbour reclamations help shape the future development of Hong Kong as an international trade and financial centre in a roving exhibition commencing next Monday (September 18).
The exhibition will feature good illustrations and photographs of how the territory gains land from sea to improve the living environment, to satisfy the needs for housing and other infrastructure and to sustain the economic growth.
Visitors will also be able to gain an overview of how harbour reclamations in the early days helped Hong Kong to prosper and how the public will benefit from current and future reclamation projects that will help solve the overcrowding problem in older urban areas and provide more amenity facilities such as waterfront promenades for public enjoyment.
The exhibition will provide answers to points of concern raised by some quarters of the community, notably the effects of harbour reclamations on land supply, environment, and navigational safety.
On top of panel displays, there will be a short film to be shown on a full-size video wall and models of the future look of the harbour.
Visitors will be able to take home leaflets showing the major reclamation projects and explaining why Hong Kong needs to proceed with the reclamation programme as it always did in the past 150 years to satisfy the incessant demand for land.
