Throughout the 2 stages of baseline review and plan recommendation, 6 study tasks were covered with an emphasis on soliciting community needs and aspirations through (1) Questionnaire and Roadshow Survey, (2) Interview with relevant Stakeholders and (3) Community Workshop. With baseline findings and community inputs incorporated, this Age Friendly Community Plan put forward the planning vision “to build an age friendly, sustainable, smart and liveable community that ​ ​ enables Kowloon City dwellers to live with autonomy, health and well-being, social connectedness, sense of security and resilience as they age”. A total of 8 overarching planning and design principles were ​ developed to guide each of the proposals. The plan also features the “4I Strategies”, namely ​ ​ Interconnected Web, Integrative Environment, Intergenerational Cohesion and Independent ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Wellness in which 12 proposals are recommended as follows: ​ ​ 4I Strategies Proposals Connected Waterfront Interconnected Web ​ Circular Feeder Service 龍城脈絡 Universal Access & Design Improvement Integrative Green Corridor Environment​ 綠在社區 Smart Environmental Monitoring App Intergenerational Co-Living Units Intergenerational Cohesion​ Shared Spaces in GIC Facilities 跨代共融 5 Streets Cultural and Creative Incubator Multi-Level Healthcare Composite Building Institution-led Specialist Healthcare Building Independent Wellness ​ 健康無界 Private-led Wellness Services Dementia-friendly Park While the plan provides both quick-win and long-term solutions towards an age-friendly Kowloon City, all proposals are expected to be completed by 2031.

  • HONG KONG in Brief
    2020 HONG KONG in brief Brand Hong Kong’s visual identity and brandline have become familiar to people at home and around the world – the flying dragon and 'Asia’s world city' have become synonymous with Hong Kong. The blue and green ribbons that extend from the dragon symbolise blue sky and a sustainable environment, while Lion Rock – the famous landmark that represents Hong Kong people’s 'can-do' spirit – is silhouetted by the red ribbon. The fluid shape of the ribbons evokes versatility, and the multiple colours signify the city’s diversity and dynamism.

    Appendix 3.10 Estimated Communities within the Exceedance Zone of Annual NO2 Appendix 3.10 Estimated Communities within the Exceedance Zone of Annual NO2 Introduction 1. To estimate the likely size of the affected communities within the exceedance zone of annual NO2, a survey has been conducted in April 2016. 2. The exceedance zones of annual NO2 cover playgrounds, schools, shops and residential areas as mentioned in Table 3-13 and Table 3-17 of the main text. The exposure to NO2 for the users of playgrounds, the students in the schools and the staff in the shops or restaurants should be limited as they will not stay continuously for 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Hence, the actual exposure to the NO2 shall be less than predicted. Therefore, only the number of units (shops or school), but not the population, are presented in this appendix for reference purpose. The residential regions are considered to have a long term NO2 exposure and thus the estimation of the likely size of the affected communities within the exceedance zone of annual NO2 is based only on the number of dwellings. 3. The likely size of affected communities within the exceedance zones of annual NO2 would be the highest in the worst assessment year (2023) based on the Figure 3-6K to Figure 3-6P. Assumptions 4. A number of assumptions were made in the community survey and listed as follows: No change in the number of shops and residential flats over the assessment years (from Year 2016 to Year 2023); Each flat consists of 1 dwelling only (no unauthorized partitioned unit is considered); Based on “Population Census” issued by Census and Statistics Department for To Kwa Wan and Kowloon City districts in 2011, the average number of occupant per unit, 2.88, was adopted to calculate the affected population within the exceedance zones.
