Physically,
Hong Kong
will have changed almost
beyond recognition. It will take about 25 minutes to travel
by rail from central Kowloon to the new airport at Chek Lap
Kok. On the way, you will go along the new West Kowloon
reclamation and pass new port facilities at Stonecutters
Island and Tsing Yi. Alternatively, you could travel from
Central to the Chinese border via the new Western Harbour
Crossing, Tsing Yi, the Route 3 tunnel to Yuen Long and the
Lok Ma Chau bridge. Redevelopment will be beginning on the
present site of Kai Tak airport. Our Convention and
Exhibition Centre, by then doubled in size, will be some
300 metres inland. So will
business district will have
reclamation with а variety of new civic, cultural and
commercial buildings and with a continuous walkway beside
the harbour linking open park areas.
Exchange Square. The central
expanded greatly onto a new
103.
Striking social changes will also have taken
place. Our ambitious housing programme means that about
half of Our households will be living in subsidised
housing, almost 40% of them in flats which they own
revised educational targets mean that as
many as 20% of our 19-year olds may be studying in Hong
Kong for first degrees and another 7% for other tertiary
themselves. Qur
