Source:

The land use data was compiled using satellite images dated December 2016 and January 2017 (©AIRBUS DS (2016, 2017)), in-house survey information of the Planning Department up to end-2016 and other relevant information from various government departments. As definitions of some land use classes and methodology are updated from time to time, the figures this year may not be comparable directly to those provided in previous years.
