Harbour Planning Principles ▪ Preserving Victoria Harbour as a Natural, Public and Economic Asset ▪ Victoria Harbour as Hong Kong’s Identity ▪ A Vibrant Harbour ▪ An Accessible Harbour ▪ Maximizing Opportunities for Public Enjoyment ▪ Integrated Planning for a World-class Harbour KOWLOON ▪ Sustainable Development for the Harbour ▪ Early and Ongoing Stakeholder Engagement ϝᔷ The Government has accepted the advice of the HEC that an enhanced public participation should be adopted in the course of the Wan Chai Development Phase II (WDII) Review. To achieve this, a public engagement exercise, namely the “Harbour-front Enhancement Review (HER) - Wan Chai, , Causeway Bay and Adjoining Areas”, has commenced under the direction of the HEC Sub-committee on WDII Review as part of the review process. Results of the HER project will provide input to the WDII Review.

What is the Envisioning Stage? Contrary to the conventional practice of government preparing concept plans and asking the public to comment on the concept plans, the envisioning exercise is to engage the public on identifying problems and setting visions for improvement. This Public Engagement Kit is prepared to provide information to facilitate understanding and discussion. ▪ Your vision, wishes, ideas, concepts and proposed sustainability principles and indicators expressed in the Envisioning Stage will guide the preparation of the Concept Plan and Master Plan by the Government. You are encouraged to give your views in forums, charrettes, questionnaires, and in letters/fax/emails. ▪ You will be invited again at the Realization Stage to evaluate the Concept Plan and Master Plan against the sustainability principles and indicators. ▪ Consensus built will form the foundation for the preparation of the draft Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) and draft Recommended Outline Development Plan (RODP) by the Government. ፑඛҒࣁᣉѿٿȷߞᅹྐ༥ࣱȞुٿ܎৶ྻ႕ᘛְணሃȶᔹмᣉѿȃቚᣤᣉфᏐࠕԳ஡ઔᕺߞु ԑবߞഢᄑȄـ஡ၛԳȟѽႿ७ތф तኃ࣏ᅹྐ༥ࣱȉѽ݀ߞഢᄑჅ຀ȂгಿߞணሃϘଠ࣏Դࣆܹᕢ൯࿄݇ᄦНࢢȂ֭Ыըߞഢᄑᢰ ᑂȄऎў࠮ҾӔڶ෩ҍನྐȂ֯ऎ࿄݇ഢᄑᄦߞڭҾӔକ௉Դᅹྐ༥ࣱබକணሃԒԢణ୅யᛟȂ ௄ӎ०฀Ⴄਫ਼Ȅڻನႋф୅ᎢȂ܎৶ྻપ፠ሦӎгಿணሃЈᔅᡃ෩ ՑԴᅹྐ༥ࣱаְ෩؛ȃຍயۡȂ۶ӡ੩኷תȂҒࣁணҐᎢᐪȃന঍ڍҞ෈Ժᇌ൉ਸ਼ຜПྍְ!▪ ᑂȄڶȁҍߞನྐȃงౕሃҞࢺ᠈๴ਣ১ࡋфࢽዾȂ௟՘ऎࣆܹᕢ൯࿄݇ഢᄑᄦфᗁᇩᄦߞ ▪ েԴ࢙ӲԒᝊ༥ࣱȂ௟ԓᘛ᎛ְࢷҞࢺ᠈๴ਣߞ১ࡋфࢽዾȂԒԢໞ֤࿄݇ഢᄑᄦфᗁᇩᄦȄا!

Public’s views are important in establishing if there are present and compelling needs or whether there are reasonable alternatives to meet the needs without reclamation.

  • TFHK/01/2021 on 17 May 2021
    Task Force on Harbourfront Developments on Hong Kong Island For discussion TFHK/01/2021 on 17 May 2021 Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to brief the Task Force on the latest architectural and landscaping design of the proposed Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor (IEC) (Boardwalk). The paper will also update the Task Force on the latest progress, works area requirements and proposed management arrangement of the Boardwalk. BACKGROUND 2. The proposed Boardwalk is a major harbourfront enhancement initiative on Hong Kong Island. Successful implementation of the proposed Boardwalk could set a role model for the forth-coming promenade projects, especially those coastal areas which cannot be developed into a promenade due to various reasons. 3. The proposed Boardwalk is approximately 2.2 kilometres (km) long and maintains a width of at least 10 metres (m) wide throughout and comprises a western and eastern section. The western section will run from Oil Street to Tong Shui Road (approximately 0.7 km long), while the eastern section will run from Tin Chiu Street to Hoi Yu Street (approximately 1.1 km long). These two sections will be connected by the North Point Promenade (approximately 0.4 km long). Upon completion, the proposed Boardwalk will connect the existing or planned promenade at Shek Tong Tsui in Western District and Aldrich Bay in Shau Kei Wan, providing a continuous promenade of some 12 km long for public enjoyment. 4. Both the Task Force and the Eastern District Council (EDC) have been closely engaged in the planning of the Boardwalk project over the past few years.

  • Social Interactions and the Dynamics of Protest Movements
    Persistent Political Engagement: Social Interactions and the Dynamics of Protest Movements Leonardo Bursztyn Davide Cantoni David Y. Yang Noam Yuchtman Y. Jane Zhang* September 2020 Abstract We study the causes of sustained participation in political movements. To identify the per- sistent effect of protest participation, we randomly, indirectly incentivize Hong Kong univer- sity students into participation in an antiauthoritarian protest. To identify the role of social networks, we randomize this treatment’s intensity across major-cohort cells. We find that in- centives to attend one protest within a political movement increase subsequent protest atten- dance, but only when a sufficient fraction of an individual’s social network is also incentivized to attend the initial protest. One-time mobilization shocks have dynamic consequences, with mobilization at the social network level important for sustained political engagement.
