Planning.
103. A small section under an additional assistant superintendent was formed at the beginning of 1953 "to coordinate the work of the various branches of the P.W.D. and other Government departments with a view to producing a workable plan for the future development of the Colony".
104. Previously approved zoning was adopted or modified to suit changed circumstances. Reservations for all foreseeable Government and communal purposes were made and approved for Hong Kong Island and the urban areas of Kowloon. Consideration of these reservations had been given by the Crown Lands section for a considerable time prior to the formation of the planning section.
105. The urban areas have now been divided into 32 planning districts and by the end of the year work had been put in hand on outline development plans of the whole or portions of 4 districts together with plans for the industrial township of Tsun Wan-Kwai Chung in the New Territories which is estimated to be capable of accommodating a population of rather more than 120,000 persons.
106. Housing and road improvements are dealt with in the reports of the sub-departments most closely concerned.
