Capacity building for 2030 Capacity is needed for 9.2m residents and 70m visitors in 2030 • HK2030 Study Estimates Government, developers and transport providers are constructing and planning a large number of projects which will change the landscape and impact future demand for infrastructure and space. There is a long wish list for public and private venues, buildings, promenades, open spaces, roads, and other planned or needed redevelopment throughout the Harbour District

  5. Protecting Hong Kong Harbour Victoria Harbour is a “special public asset”, a “natural heritage of Hong Kong people” and is to be “protected and preserved’ Protection of the Harbour Ordinance Reclamation is only possible if there is “an overriding public need” where there is “no reasonable alternative” and must be kept to a “minimum”. Court Decision
