Planning for Hong Kong's future growth
Hong Kong must extend its strategic vision well into the 21st century taking into account both its own needs and the open door policy in China, the Chairman of the Hong Kong Housing Authority, Ms Rosanna Wong, said today (Wednesday).
Ms Wong was speaking at the opening ceremony of a roving exhibition on the Territorial Development Strategy (TDS) Review 1996 held today at the Pacific Place in Queensway.
Also officiating at today's opening ceremony were the Deputy Secretary for Planning, Environment and Lands, Mr Canice Mak and the Director of Planning, Dr Peter Pun.
"We must now find ways to address the overall land supply problems, not only in quantitative terms, but also in ensuring that there is adequate land supply at the right time and in the right location," said Ms Wong.
She pointed out that the Government had, for many years provided a framework for development, through the formulation of strategic development plans.
"In so doing, the public sector has assumed a facilitative role for the provision of necessary infrastructure and to ensure an adequate supply of serviced land in a timely and logical manner to keep up with development pressures," she said.
Ms Wong urged members of the public to express their views on the various development options recommended by the TDS Review.
