Developing the New Territories and Cutting Red Tapes to Expedite Land and Housing Supply
Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) has published policy recommendations on developing the New Territories and streamlining procedures. By promoting the completion of more New Development Areas (NDA) and minimising the red tapes seen in housing development cycles, the recommendations therein can speed up land and housing supply. The OHKF has put forward specific proposals in three areas, namely, NDA, public housing and private housing. These include exploring various mechanisms for land assembly, enhancing the disclosure on project progress and optimising land administration procedures, with a view to enriching the policy “toolbox” and enhancing the efficiency of development projects. Apart from the short to medium term measures, the OHKF has also made strategic policy recommendations on the overall planning of Hong Kong, such as examining the reasonable proportion of green areas in the territory, to unleash the possibility of more comprehensive development in Hong Kong.
