LIMITED DEVELOPMENT IN THE SHENZHEN BAY AREA A FUTURE MODEL FOR COORDINATED DEVELOPMENT OF URBANISATION AND ECOCONSERVATION

Hong Kong has built a range of New Towns since the 1960s, using various planning strategies and function mixes aimed at creating self-sufficient communities. External challenges have led to varied successes in achieving this goal, as Hong Kong’s industry, society and modes of live and work have gradually changed.

Rather than only focusing on the further expansion of Hong Kong according to the latest urban planning visions, existing New Towns deserve to be re-evaluated, as they can continue to grow and adapt in parallel with Hong Kong’s evolving economic and strategic position with the Geater Bay Area.

This chapter explores urban design strategies for the upgrading of existing New Towns, based around careful assesments of their valuable urban qualities and unique opportunities for further development.
