  • Jockey Club Age-Friendly City Project Action Plan for Tai Po District
    Jockey Club Age-friendly City Project Action Plan for Tai Po District CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing October 2016 1. Background By 2041, one third of the overall population in Hong Kong will be the older people, which amount to 2.6 million. The demographic change will lead to new or expanded services, programs and infrastructure to accommodate the needs of older people. Creating an age-friendly community will benefit people of all ages. Making cities age-friendly is one of the most effective policy approaches for responding to demographic ageing. In order to proactively tackle the challenges of the rapidly ageing population, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust is implementing the Jockey Club Age- friendly City (“JCAFC”) Project in partnership with four gerontology research institutes in Hong Kong. The project aims to build momentum in districts to develop an age-friendly community, recommend a framework for districts to undertake continual improvement, as well as arouse public awareness and encourage community participation. Eight districts have been piloted. The CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing is responsible for Sha Tin and Tai Po District. 2. Profile of Tai Po District Tai Po is located in the northeast part of the New Territories. Topographically, Tai Po is encircled on three sides by the mountain. The valley areas and basins become the major grounds for human settlements. Tai Po is one of the new towns in Hong Kong since 1979. Historically, Tai Po is a market town famous for trading of agricultural and fishing products. The old market was located at the coastal plains where Tai Po River and Lam Tsuen River cross.

PROPOSAL 2. The scope of the part of 109CD which we propose to upgrade to Category A comprises construction of – (a) about 2.6 kilometres (km) drainage channel of width ranging from 18 to 29 metres (m) in Upper Lam Tsuen River; (b) about 1.1 km drainage channel of width ranging from 8.5 to 21.5 m in She Shan River; (c) about 0.7 km drainage channel of width ranging from 13 to 20 m in Upper Tai Po River; (d) about 25 m long twin-cell box culvert with internal cell dimensions of 1 350 millimetres (mm) high by 2 500 mm wide at Ping Long, and about 18 m long single-cell box culvert with internal cell dimensions of 2 150 mm high by 3 000 mm wide at Kwun Hang; and (e) ancillary road works. We plan to commence construction in September 2007 for completion in end 2011. A site plan and typical sections showing the proposed works are at Enclosure 1. 2 JUSTIFICATION 3. Owing to inadequate drainage capacity, the areas in the vicinity of the existing Upper Lam Tsuen River, She Shan River, Upper Tai Po River, and at Ping Long and Kwun Hang, are susceptible to flooding during heavy rainstorms.

  • The Empty Forest
    MAY 2002 NUMBER 25 Porcupine! Newsletter of the Department of Ecology & Biodiversity, The University of Hong Kong The empty forest In Hong Kong’s climate, forest is the natural vegetation everywhere. It can be suppressed by regular cutting or burning, but the harvesting of biomass for fuel ended decades ago and fires, although still common, are less often started and more rapidly controlled near urban areas than next to rural villages. An increase in the area of forest is therefore an inevitable, if paradoxical, consequence of the increasing urbanisation of the New Territories. Hong Kong Island, where the last grassland is disappearing under a tidal wave of shrubs and trees, illustrates the future for the whole territory. Within fifty years, forest will cover most of Hong Kong. Good news for native biodiversity, surely? Well…yes… partly. It is true that many of our most diverse inland sites are in forest, but these are areas that have had continuous tree cover for centuries, as a result of inaccessibility or the protection of feng shui. The much larger areas of young secondary forest are a lot less diverse. Even at the best sites, the diversity is in the plants and invertebrates – organisms that can persist in the tiniest of forest patches. Vertebrates do not survive in such situations so Hong Kong has lost most species that require forest. The new forests are therefore empty in comparison with the larger, older forest areas in Guangdong, and even more so if compared with what must have been here a thousand years ago. There are no reliable records for Hong Kong from before the nineteenth century, when the vertebrate fauna was already impoverished.

Baggage check will take place by the Bradbury Camp Youth Hostel. Race assembly will take place on the bicycle path near Bradbury Camp. TNF 100 and TNF 50 Section 1: Tai Mei Tuk/Pat Sing Leng Nature Trail/Wu Kau Tang Approximate distance ~ 6.6 km Total elevation gain ~ 400 meters Total elevation loss ~ 315 meters Racers will run out the bicycle path and turn right onto Bride’s Pool Road for approximately 1 km. The course turns left by the AFCD/Plover Cove Visitor Center and onto Pat Sing Leng Nature Trail. The course continues along a footpath approximately 1.5 meters wide and gains altitude steadily. There are occasional breaks in the forest that afford views to the right of Plover Cove Reservoir. After attaining a height of land at about 300 meters, the path descends to an intersection where the Wilson Trail splits off to the left and racers continue on the Pat Sin Leng Nature Trail to the right. Following a descent, a stream crossing, a short climb and steeper descent on stone stairs, the course arrives at Bride’s Pool Road. Although the race organizer and the police will manage traffic control, racers should cross the road with caution. The road is also popular with cyclists who tend to disregard instructions to give way to runners crossing the road.
