T and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong
Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong By: Michael Audi, Kathryn Byorkman, Alison Couture, Suzanne Najem ZRH006 Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with Designing Kong Hong, Ltd. and The Harbour Business Forum On March 4, 2010 Submitted by: Submitted to: Michael Audi Paul Zimmerman Kathryn Byorkman Margaret Brooke Alison Couture Dr. Sujata Govada Suzanne Najem Roger Nissim Professor Robert Kinicki Professor Zhikun Hou ii | P a g e Abstract Though Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour is world-renowned, the harbor front districts are far from walkable. The WPI team surveyed 16 waterfront districts, four in-depth, assessing their walkability using a tool created by the research team and conducted preference surveys to understand the perceptions of Hong Kong pedestrians. Because pedestrians value the shortest, safest, least-crowded, and easiest to navigate routes, this study found that confusing routes, unsafe or indirect connections, and a lack of amenities detract from the walkability in Hong Kong. This report provides new data concerning the walkability in harbor front districts and a tool to measure it, along with recommendations for potential improvements. iii | P a g e Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsors Paul Zimmerman, Dr. Sujata Govada, Margaret Brooke, and Roger Nissim for their help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

Nvironmental Management and Performance
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE LAND AND WATERBORNE TRANSPORT Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. A safe, efficient, reliable and environment friendly transport system is important to the sustainable development of the city. On environmental management, we will continue to press ahead with the following initiatives - priority for efficient and environment friendly transport modes; reduction in traffic congestion and better inter-modal co-ordination; greater emphasis on pedestrian facilities; and application of Information Technology (IT) to transport management. Priority for Efficient and Environment Friendly Transport Modes Railways are environment friendly, safe and efficient mass carriers in Hong Kong, carrying about 40% of our public transport passengers. At present, the total length of our railways under operation is about 219 km. We are taking forward the following five railway projects in full swing - West Island Line; South Island Line (East); Kwun Tong Line Extension; Shatin to Central Link; and Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link. 7 Upon completion of these railway passenger lines by 2020, the total length of railways in operation in Hong Kong will be increased to about 280 km. We launched the consultancy study on the Review and Update of the Railway Development Strategy 2000 in March 2011 to further our policy for better use of railways as the backbone of the passenger transport system. Development of rail transport will significantly speed up passenger flow, alleviate road traffic congestion and reduce vehicle-induced air pollution. The study is expected to be completed in 2013. The Government will continue with its efforts to enhance the co-ordination between railway and other public transport modes to avoid unnecessary duplication of public transport resources and alleviate traffic congestion.

Progress of Admiralty Station Expansion Works Under the Shatin to Central Link Project
For Circulation C&W DC Paper No. 109/2017 Central and Western District Council Progress of Admiralty Station Expansion Works under the Shatin to Central Link Project Introduction 1. This paper aims to update members of the Central and Western District Council on the progress of the expansion works of Admiralty Station under the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) project. Background 2. The 17-kilometre SCL is a territory-wide strategic railway project linked with a number of existing and future railways to form two strategic railway corridors, namely the “East West Corridor” and the “North South Corridor”. The “East West Corridor” will be formed by extending the Ma On Shan Line from Tai Wai Station to Hung Hom Station where it will connect with the West Rail Line. The “North South Corridor” will extend the existing East Rail Line from Hung Hom Station across the Victoria Harbour to Admiralty Station via Exhibition Station. The “East West Corridor” and “North South Corridor” are expected to commission in mid-2019 and the 2021 respectively. 3. Admiralty Station will become the railway transport hub on Hong Kong Island that serves as the interchange for Island Line, Tsuen Wan Line, South Island Line (“SIL”) and the SCL. As part of the facilities are integrated for both the SCL and the South Island Line (East) (SIL(E)) project, part of the major works including platforms and interchange concourse were carried out under the SIL(E) project to shorten the overall construction time and minimise disturbance to the environment, road traffic and community. As SIL has been in operation since December 2016, SCL has taken over the works site from SIL(E) in Admiralty to continue the remaining railway construction works.

BACKGROUND Railway safety 2. Railway is the backbone of Hong Kong’s public transport system, the safety of which is of paramount importance. Currently, the MTR system carries more than 5 million passenger trips per day on average, accounting for about 40% of all public transport passenger trips. The MTR train service has been at a consistently high ranking in terms of safety amongst major metro systems around the world in the Community of Metros (“CoMET”)1. 3. Railway is basically a set of enormous and complicated machinery driven by electricity, which comprises hundreds of thousands of various components. The major components include trains, tracks, power supply systems, signalling systems, communication systems and control centre. These components are subject to wear and tear in daily operation. To ensure railway safety, the main focus would be on proper maintenance as a preventive measure to reduce the probability of incidents. When an incident occurs, the first 1 Currently, major metro systems in CoMET include the Beijing Subway, Berlin U-Bahn, Dehli Metro, Guangzhou Metro, Hong Kong MTR, London Underground, Mexico City Metro, Metro de Madrid, Moscow Metro, New York City Subway, Paris Métro and Paris RER, Metro de Santiago, Singapore MRT, Shanghai Metro, Metro São Paulo and Taipei Metro.
