The land use data was compiled using satellite images dated December 2017 (OAIRBUS DS (2017)), in-house survey information of the Planning Department up to end-2017 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.
