STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT KEY ISSUES REPORT Hyder - Mott Connell Joint Venture This report is prepared by Hyder-Mott Connell Joint Venture for information and discussion purposes. The findings and recommendations do not necessarily represent the views of the HKSARG. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION 2. INFLUENCING FACTORS AND KEY ISSUES 3. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND KEY ISSUES 4. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS REFERENCES ABBREVIATIONS 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 The HK2030: Planning Vision and Strategy (Main Study) is a strategic planning study tasked with preparing a strategic land use planning framework for Hong Kong for a period of 30 years. It will address ‘how much, what type and where land for development should be provided’. 1.1.2 The Government is committed to supporting and promoting sustainable development and to this end major policy and strategy initiatives must undergo a sustainability assessment. Under the overall goal of adhering to the principle of sustainable development, a planning objective of the HK2030 Study is to provide a good quality living environment. To achieve this, we need to strike a balance in the demand for, and supply of, environmental resources and a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is being undertaken as an integral part of the HK2030 Study. 1.1.3 To put the SEA into context, it is important to note that the Main Study involves four key stages of work viz: Stage 1: Agenda Setting, Baseline Review and Identification of Key Issues Stage 2: Examination of Key Issues Stage 3: Formulation and Evaluation of Scenarios and Options Stage 4: Formulation of Development Strategies and Response Plans 1.1.4 The SEA is being integrated with the Main Study by providing environmental input at all stages. -
When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher.

10 Additional MTR Stations and Vending Machines for Distributing COVID-19 Specimen Collection Packs
PR086/20 18 December 2020 10 Additional MTR Stations and Vending Machines for Distributing COVID-19 Specimen Collection Packs The MTR Corporation set up vending machines at ten MTR stations for the public to collect COVID-19 specimen collection packs on 7 December 2020 and the arrangement has been smooth so far. To provide greater convenience to the community, following communication with relevant government departments, the distribution of specimen collection packs will be extended to ten more stations tomorrow (19 December 2020), making the packs available at 20 MTR stations. The ten additional stations are Shau Kei Wan, Wan Chai, Sai Ying Pun, Ho Man Tin, Prince Edward, Kai Tak, Wu Kai Sha, Tsuen Wan West, Sheung Shui and Tung Chung stations. The Corporation will continue to install more vending machines and targets to have two machines in each of the 20 stations by early 2021. The supply of the specimen collection packs by government contractor will be at about 14,000 packs per day and the amount will be suitably adjusted based on actual demand. The MTR Mobile and MTR website will continue to provide updates on the supply at stations. (Please refer to the annex for details about the locations of the vending machines.) Members of the public can scan the QR codes near the vending machines for information about returning the specimen collected. Notices about the designated General Out-patience Clinics of the Hospital Authority or clinics of the Department of Health accepting specimen collected near the relevant stations will also be on display. Please refer to this government website for details about returning specimen collected: https://www.coronavirus.gov.hk/eng/early- testing.html MTR calls on members of the public collecting the packs to maintain social distance and personal hygiene. -

Hidden Cities: Reinventing The Non-Space Between Street And Subway Abstract The connections leading to underground transit lines have not received the attention given to public spaces above ground. Considered to be merely infrastructure, the design and planning of these underground passageways has been dominated by engineering and capital investment principles, with little attention to place-making. This underground transportation area, often dismissed as “non-space,” is a by-product of high-density transit-oriented development, and becomes increasingly valuable and complex as cities become larger and denser. This dissertation explores the design of five of these hidden cities where there has been a serious effort to make them into desirable public spaces. Over thirty-two million urbanites navigate these underground labyrinths in New York City, Hong Kong, London, Moscow, and Paris every day. These in-between spaces have evolved from simple stairwells to networked corridors, to transit concourses, to transit malls, and to the financial engines for affordable public transit. -
