1. OHKF believes that Hong Kong should rely on reclamation as the
major source of land source, which has been the cornerstone of
past successes for Hong Kong. Against this backdrop, we
support the development of East Lantau Metropolis and hope it
can be implemented as soon as possible. Considering its size (up
to 1,000 hectares) and proximity to the traditional core business
district (CBD), the airport and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge,
the East Lantau Metropolis is conducive to comprehensive
planning and has the potential to become Hong Kong's third
CBD.
2. In view of the severe shortage of land, OHKF holds that that
Hong Kong needs a more ambitious plan of land creation to
support the city long-term development. With reference to the
25 potential reclamation sites initially proposed by the
Government in 2012, we sketched out a more aggressive prelimi-
nary concept map and wish to encourage the community to
engage in serious and rational discussion regarding suitable
reclamation sites.
