The planning brief of the consultancy study was

considered by CRC on 25 July 1992 and by LDPC on 31 July 1992. The principal objectives of the study are to:

(a) produce an updated and more geographically

comprehensive plan of Hong Kong's primary

hinterland showing the current broad

disposition of urban and rural land uses and

existing/planned infrastructure, which need

to be considered in the formulation of a

(b)

range of

of development scenarios for Hong

Kong;

bring together and update the widely

dispersed and independently produced information to produce a composite picture

of the scale and pace of economic growth and

related urban development in the Pearl River

Delta area. It is difficult to reconcile

some of the currently available data and much of it needs to be aggregated in a way

that provides a better perspective of the

inter-relationship with development in Hong Kong; and

(c) produce a measured view of a range of probable growth scenarios in the Pearl River Delta over the longer term having regard to

both China's national and provincial development policies. That, in turn, will

give pointers as to how Hong Kong's

territorial strategic plans

structured with respect to

infrastructure and spatially

activities.
