Building a new district in the shape of an airport runway?
Defining a new purpose for surrounding districts depends on what is done with Kai Tak

Central reclamation – Sustainable?
1987 - everyone wanted more CBD space 1995 - Harbour Ordinance 2004 - It may well have been preferable for the Chief
Executive in Counsel to remit the plan (to the Town Planning Board) – Judge Hartmann
Transport led planning - Transport led planning - Sustainable?Sustainable?
Integrated planning needed to find solutions
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
Open mind for integrated solutions
How to manage sustainable planning?
TODAY’S NEED Planning led process Visionary planning Multi-dimensional planning Quality of life led planning Inclusive consultations Alternatives with cost and
environmental implications Renewal Minimizing footprint Re-engineering existing built
land Public private enterprise Harbour District financing
TODAY’S SYSTEM Engineering led process Finance led planning Transport led planning Cost led planning Project fast-tracking One Outline Zoning Plan
Redevelopment New land development Low cost, low resistance,
new land reclamation Government managed Project financing
More complex rules and flexible implementation needed

Limited powers of LegCo
Article 74 permits Members of the Legislative Coucil to introduce bills ‘which do not relate to public expenditure or political structure or the operation of the Government’ and ‘the written consent of the Chief Executive shall be required before bills relating to Government policies are introduced.’
LegCo can veto the budget, public expenditure and proposed legislation with a majority
LegCo blocked Government’s plan for major reclamation of Kowloon Bay
The current system is geared for the lowest cost option,not for the more expensive ‘quality of life’ option.
Planning Department
The Statistical Consulting Unit (SCU) concluded that the result of the survey indicates that, amongst the 10 priorities, Hong Kong is doing the right things when it comes to urban planning.
The low rating in terms of community involvement suggests that people are content with the way planning is undertaken right now.

• To promote the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the community by making provision for the systematic preparation and approval of plans for the lay-out of areas of Hong Kong as well as for the types of building suitable for erection therein and for the preparation and approval of plans for areas within which permission is required for development.
Of such areas of Hong Kongas the Chief Executive may direct

No publications on public consultations (March 2004)
Transport Department – Look who is in charge!!
It is not for the Town Planning Board to make transport policy decisions (Judge Hartmann)
Vision 2030 study takes into account Transport Policy – it does not determine Transport Policy
Planning is subject transport !!?!!
