  • Initial Transport Assessment of Development Options
    This subject paper is intended to be a research paper delving into different views and analyses from various sources. The views and analyses as contained in this paper are intended to stimulate public discussion and input to the planning process of the "HK2030 Study" and do not necessarily represent the views of the HKSARG. WORKING PAPER NO. 35 INITIAL TRANSPORT ASSESSMENT OF DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS Purpose 1. The purpose of this paper is to provide information on the reference transport demand forecasts, assessment of Reference Scenario and framework for option evaluations. Background 2. Under Stage 3 of the HK2030 Study, Development Scenario and Development Options are formulated. The Development Options are then subject to transport, economic, financial as well as environmental assessments. Under the integrated approach adopted for the Study, the transport requirements identified for the Development Options are also assessed in terms of the environmental, economic and financial implications in order that a meaningful comparison of the Development Options could be made. 3. Under the Reference Scenario, various development choices have been considered to satisfy the land requirements. They can broadly be categorised into two different options of development patterns, namely Decentralisation and Consolidation. The details are presented in the paper on Development Options under the Reference Scenario. Assessments have been carried out to identify the transport requirements of the two Development Options in 2010, 2020 and 2030. The findings are summarised in the following sections. Development Options 4. Under the Reference Scenario, the population in 2030 could be in the region of 9.2 million which is only marginally more than the population of 8.9 million for 2016 adopted in the previous strategic planning.

  • Promoting Universal Accessibility of the East Kowloon Harbor Front
    Promoting Universal Accessibility of the East Kowloon Harbor Front Zachary Harmony Meagan Hiatt Paige Waechter Chuankai Zhou 44-SS7-C154 Promoting Universal Accessibility of the East Kowloon Harbor Front An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by: Zachary Harmony Meagan Hiatt Paige Waechter Chuankai Zhou Submitted to: Professor Hendrik Tieben, School of Architecture Chinese University of Hong Kong Dr. Sujata Govada, School of Architecture Chinese University of Hong Kong and Urban Design and Planning International Project Advisors: Professor Creighton Peet, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Professor Stephan Sturm, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Date: March 6, 2015 ii Abstract The pedestrian scheme that emerged from the former industrial district of Kwun Tong, Hong Kong developed without the consideration of pedestrian universal accessibility. Our goal was to propose a universally accessible pedestrian model to reach the East Kowloon harbor front. Through surveys and exploration of pedestrian pathways, we found inconsistencies in the degree of accessibility, stemming from the lack of Hong Kong accessibility standards. Our recommendations include implementing a wheelchair ramp slope standard, uniformly wide sidewalks, and more prevalent signage. iii Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following individuals, organizations and institutions for supporting us throughout the completion of this project: The School of Architecture, Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) for sponsoring our project, and for providing work accommodations and valuable resources. Our sponsors, Professor Hendrik Tieben from CUHK and Dr. Sujata Govada with Urban Design and Planning International, for all their invaluable resources, insight and guidance throughout this project.

WORKING PAPER NO. 21 REGIONAL AND HONG KONG'S TRANSPORT NETWORK PLANNING FRAMEWORK Introduction 1. Railways and expressways are the main arteries of cities. They are the backbones to facilitate movements of goods and people. The prosperity and growth of a city depend very much on the efficient operation and development of its circulation systems. 2. This paper gives an overview of the existing and future strategic transport network in particular road and railway infrastructure in the Guangdong Province of the Mainland China 1. It also examines the present and future development of our Hong Kong's transport network in order to set the basic framework for planning an integrated transport system in the next stage of the study. Regional Transport Network I. Guangdong Province A. Road Infrastructure Exisitng Road Infrastrucutre 3. To accelerate the modernisation of transportation in China, in the early 1990s, the Ministry of Transportation put forward a strategic and ambitious distribution plan for the national trunk road system.
