8. Unfortunately, the "Analysis Report" mentions that the existing
and planned projects in Hong Kong can only provide about 3,600
hectares of land. Therefore, OHKF supports the development of
the "East Lantau Metropolis" in the area near Kau Yi Chau and the
Hei Ling Chau Typhoon Shelter, and hopes it can be implemented
as soon as possible. With roads and railways connection to Hong
Kong Island and Lantau Island, East Lantau Metropolis could
become Hong Kong's third core business district. In addition,
OHKF also supports the "New Territories North Development"
project to support modern industry by utilising the brownfield
sites and abandoned farmland in the northern part of the New
Territories and connecting the entire development area via the
Northern Link to establish a new town which makes same-district
employment possible.

9. However, even if the abovementioned projects can successfully be
implemented, we still face a supply shortfall of 4,000 hectares. Given
the dire situation of the acute shortage of land, OHKF holds that
Hong Kong needs a more ambitious plan of land creation to support
the long-term development. With reference to the 25 potential
reclamation sites initially proposed by the government in 2012, we
sketched out a more aggressive preliminary concept map so that we
can create our “New Rose Garden” (Figure).
