Results on population survey in new towns published
The Planning Department has published a report entitled "Population Survey in New Towns and Rural Areas, 1994".
The report summarises the findings of a survey conducted by a research company commissioned by the department last year to collect information on the characteristics of households and population in private permanent housing developments in the New Territories.
The survey covered some 7,000 households in private permanent housing in four new towns, namely Tsing Yi, Tseung Kwan O, Tin Shui Wai and Ma On Shan, and five major private housing developments outside new towns.
The five developments include Fairview Park, Palm Springs, Hong Lok Yuen, Marina Cove and Discovery Bay.
The report is now on sale at $30 a copy at the Government Publications Centre, ground floor, Low Block, Queensway Government Offices, 66 Queensway, Hong Kong.
