Programme Highlight

Land is the essential building block for the challenges faced by Hong Kong. In the spatial context of Hong Kong, Lantau commands an un-paralleled strategic location with a comprehensive air, road and rail transport network connected externally to other cities in the Greater Bay Area and the World as well as internally to the well-established core business area at Central. Creation of land for meeting housing and economic needs in this area would also allow a more balanced spatial distribution of population and jobs. The strategic transport facilities in support of the Lantau development could also help relieve the existing transport capacity constraint in Northwest New Territories as well as enhancing connections between urban areas and the New Territories. During the visit, we are going to visit the Inno Centre for the construction projects to learn how smart site system enhance the quality and safety of the projects and the CLC to know more about the development projects and conservation works/initiatives of SLO as well as the nature, culture and history in Lantau, through various interactive exhibits and models and exchange the vision and knowledge with engineers from the mainland.
