  • Chapter 2 Quality City and Quality Life
    Chapter 2 Quality City And Quality Life Preamble The development of Hong Kong into a knowledge-based economy requires talent from around the world, and a quality city life is essential to attracting talent. The concept of “Progressive Development” advocated by the Chief Executive is to develop a quality city life by striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection and conservation. In the arena of environmental protection, we launched a basket of new initiatives in areas such as air quality improvement, waste management and promoting a low-carbon economy and lifestyle. Environmental protection is a long-term and continuing commitment. The Government will continue to promote regional co-operation to improve air quality within the region, and to develop the PRD Region into a green and quality living area. Global warming is an international concern. We will meet the challenge of climate change with early planning. In particular, we will enhance energy effi ciency and promote a low carbon economy — an economy based on low energy consumption and low pollution. Moreover, we will strengthen our cultural software, develop our audience base, and support more small and medium arts groups to tie in with the development of the West Kowloon Cultural District, which is proceeding as planned. 28 Quality City And Quality Life We will also continue our efforts to beautify the shoreline of Victoria Harbour by turning it into a landmark to be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. 29 Quality City And Quality Life New Initiatives We will: • Oversee the progressive launch of digital audio broadcasting services by three commercial licensees and Radio Television Hong Kong as from late 2011/early 2012.

  • Policy Agenda
    Chapter 7 Youth, Sport, Arts and Culture Preamble Young people are precious assets of our society and our future. Our youth development policy will focus on creating opportunities for them and helping them to realise their potential. We will continue to partner with relevant NGOs to foster a culture of multi-faceted excellence and offer multiple avenues for young people to pursue their studies, career and interests. Engaging the Commission on Youth, uniformed groups and NGOs, we aim to enhance our networking with young people, promote positive values amongst them and facilitate their overall development. The Government’s policy for developing sport in Hong Kong is threefold - to promote sport in the community, to support elite sport, and to maintain Hong Kong as a centre for major international sports events. Underlying these objectives is the view that participation in sport contributes significantly to good physical and psychological health, and provides a basis for social interaction and a sense of belonging to the community. On culture and the arts, our vision is to develop Hong Kong into an international cultural metropolis with a distinct identity grounded in Chinese traditions and enriched by different cultures. We are providing opportunities for wide participation in culture and the arts; offering opportunities for those with potentials to develop artistic 113 talents; supporting the preservation and promotion of our traditional cultures (including intangible cultural heritage) while encouraging artistic creation and innovation; and developing Hong Kong into a prominent hub of cultural exchanges.

    LC Paper No. CB(2)801/10-11(03) For information Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs Support to Elite Athletes in Hong Kong Purpose This paper briefs Members on the support measures being provided to elite athletes in Hong Kong and the way forward. Background 2. In the information paper No. CB(2)67/10-11(01) submitted to the Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs on 20 October 2010, we elaborated on the three policy directions for the promotion of sports development, namely, to develop a strong sporting culture in the community, to develop sport at the elite level and to raise Hong Kong’s profile as a centre for international sports events. 3. To support Hong Kong athletes so that they can perform at a high level in international competitions is an important element of our policy for promoting the sustainable development of elite sport. In recent years, Hong Kong athletes have achieved outstanding results in major international events, including the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and Asian Para Games. Nurturing elite athletes 4. It takes time to train up outstanding athletes. There are many factors behind every good result achieved in international competitions: the continuous hard work of the athletes, the assistance and support provided by other parties concerned, and the availability of a well integrated support system. The Government works with stakeholders such as the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI), the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC) and “National Sports Associations” (NSAs) to develop elite sport in Hong Kong. The mechanism for elite sports development is outlined in the ensuing paragraphs.
