EC 9 CHKL shall implement measures to reverse the declining population growth rate in order to achieve an optimum population by the year 2020

EC 10 CHKL shall implement measures to attract more people to live in the City Centre.

DESCRIPTION

In order to reach an optimum population of 2.2 million in the year 2020, a population growth rate that is faster than that attained in the last decade needs to be achieved. Measures must be implemented to attract more people to live in the City.

There is a need to increase the residential population of the City Centre not only to optimize the infrastructural investment, but also with a view to making the City Centre a more vibrant and dynamic place which can attract local and international businesses.

EC 11 CHKL shall take into consideration the needs of the teenager, youth and aged population in all aspects of planning and development. The increase in the population of the teenager, youth and aged and the growth of expectations for a better standard of living require that greater attention be given to the needs of the teenager, youth and aged in terms of the quality and range of accommodation and other facilities.
