Its future use is yet to be decided but the site will need to 1. to live together as husband and address the mutual desires of both Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Like a wife, usually without legal or co-habiting un-married couple we propose that the site be the religious sanction. metaphorical bed of HK-SZ: a site for mutual benefit without legal 2. to live together in an intimate constraint. Rather than focus on the Loop itself we will focus on the relationship. residual land between the Loop and the Lok Ma Chau Border Control 3. to dwell with another or share the DESCRIPTION same place, as diﬀerent species of Point. animals.

Palaeozoic Rocks of the San Tin Group Classification and Distribution
PalaeozoicRocks of the San Tin Group Classification and Distribution The sedimenmryrocks of this Palaeozoicbasin (the San Tin Group) occupy a northeasterly,curving, faulted, irregular belt at least 25 km long and up to a maximum of 4 km in width. This fault-bounded basinextends northwards into Shenzhenand Guangdong,and south throughTuen Mun. Bennett (1984c) outlined the basic structureof the areaas a narrow grabenbetween the CastlePeak and the Sung Kong granites,and noted the presenceof metasedimenmryrocks of the Repulse Bay Formation and the Lok Ma ChauFormation. The San Tin Group is divided into two formations; a lower, largely calcareousYuen Long Formation, and an upper, mostly arenaceous/argillaceousLok Ma ChauFormation (Langford et ai, 1989)(Figure5). Yuen Long Formation The Yuen Long Fonnation was named by Lee (1985) to distinguish the concealed marbles and limestonesof the Yuen Long area from the better known clastic rocks belonging to the establishedand exposed Lok Ma Chau Fonnation (Bennett, 1984b). The distinctive carbonate lithologies were originally recognised by Ha et al (1981), who suggested that they probably belonged to the CarboniferousPeriod. General supportfor a Carboniferousage was provided by the strike of the rocks which could be traced northeastwardsinto Shenzhen,where unpublished1:50 000 geologicalmapping of the Shenzhen,Special Economic Zone apparently showed similar lithologies classified as Lower Carboniferous(Visean) (Lai & Mui, 1985). The Yuen Long Fonnation is overlain by the Lok Ma Chau Fonnation. The boundary betweenthe two fonnations is in places gradationalbut in others sharp and probably unconfonnable.The presenceof beds of marble intercalatedwith the lowest metasiltstonesin someboreholes is interpretedby Langford et al (1989) to be a gradual passagefrom a dominantly calcareoussequence to one of largely clastic material.

The good practice permeated all stages of the development, from planning and design to construction and operation. The strategic Lok Ma Chau Spur Line project, once controversial, and now applauded by Green Groups, is used as a demonstration model to illustrate the art and science of impact assessment. The paper describes the challenges that the project overcame, such as alternative considerations, stakeholder engagement, conflict resolution, mitigation and compensation effectiveness, enforcement and compliance. The main outcomes are the protection of an ecologically important valley, as well as enhancement of a 37 ha wetland for long term conservation. The wetland has since been widely used as a showcase for conservation and educational purposes, and is the site of a spectacular increase in endangered bird-life.

Cross-Border Education for Pupils of Kindergartens and Schools: the Case of Hong Kong
The International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives Vol. 17, No. 3, 2018, pp. 93-107 https://openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/index.php/IEJ Cross-border education for pupils of kindergartens and schools: The case of Hong Kong Philip Wing Keung Chan Faculty of Education, Monash University, Australia: [email protected] Cross-border education is defined as the movement of people, knowledge, programs, providers, and curriculums across national or regional jurisdictional borders. Each year, millions of students access better education by crossing their national borders from less developed or newly-industrialized countries to Western, industrialised countries. Most are tertiary education students but the numbers engaged in secondary, primary, and pre-school education are also significant. Under the implementation of “one country two systems” in Hong Kong after the transition of sovereignty from Britain to China in 1997, and a decision of a case in The Court of Final Appeal of Hong Kong in 2011, babies born in Hong Kong to mainland Chinese parents are entitled to the right of abode in Hong Kong. Since then, tens of thousands of such births have occurred. More than 20,000 cross-border students travel from China to attend public schools in Hong Kong every day. This paper explores equality issues faced by these students. The paper evaluates the results of various stakeholders working together to solve important issues; for example, dedicated school zones, immigration clearance services, setting up Hong Kong classes in Chinese schools, and language, communication, and cultural support. The paper argues that inequality is prevalent. Keywords: Cross-border education; educational equality; school education INTRODUCTION International and cross-border student mobility is not a new phenomenon.

Planning and Engineering Study on Development of Lok Ma Chau Loop Stage 1 Public Engagement (English Version)
Planning and Engineering Study on Development of Lok Ma Chau Loop Stage 1 Public Engagement (English version) Study Background Lok Ma Chau Loop was formed following the completion of the Stage One Shenzhen River Regulation Project in 1997. The 87.7 hectares piece of land is located to the east of Lok Ma Chau and Huanggang Port and is bounded by the new and old Shenzhen River channel. In 2007, Hong Kong and Shenzhen Governments agreed to commission a joint study to explore the feasibility of the Lok Ma Chau Loop development. A series of public engagement activities were then carried out in Hong Kong and Shenzhen in 2008 for collecting views on the future land use of the Loop. Based on the views received, it was considered that the Loop could be developed with higher education as the leading land use, complemented by high-tech research and development, as well as cultural and creative industries for the mutual benefits to both Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The study on the Loop was commissioned in June 2009. The Study Area includes the Loop and the adjoining areas in Hong Kong and Shenzhen that could provide infrastructure and facilities to support the development of the Loop. Key Considerations The Lok Ma Chau Loop is located within the Closed Area of Hong Kong and is predominantly covered with grassland and reedbed. At present there are no public utilities such as water, electricity, gas, drainage, telecommunication, etc. and no road connection to the Loop. On the other hand, the area has abundant ecological resources including reedbed, agricultural land and fish ponds.
