  • 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.

A host of up-and-coming competitors want to beat London at the things we have until now done best. By emulating and then leap-frogging London in terms of its aviation links, they hope to usurp us in terms of all the things aviation has enabled: a dynamic economy, a vibrant, international population and the cornucopia of cultural riches this brings with it, and much more besides.

Background 2. The HK–SWC is a dual three-lane carriageway spanning across Deep Bay linking the northwestern part of the New Territories with Shekou in Shenzhen. The DBL serves as the connecting road between the HK–SWC and the local transport network, linking the HK–SWC at its landing point at Ngau Hom Shek with the Yuen Long Highway. Construction of the DBL and the HK–SWC have commenced in June and August 2003 respectively. They are scheduled for completion by the end of 2005. Traffic Situation of Tuen Mun Road 3. Tuen Mun Road was partially completed and opened in 1978 to link up Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun. It was fully completed in 1983. It comprises two major sections – the Expressway Section (Wong Chu Road to Tsuen Wan Road) and the Town Centre Section (Wong Chu Interchange to Lam Tei Interchange). The design capacity of the Expressway Section is 118 000 vehicles. In 2003, the average daily traffic on the Expressway Section during weekdays was about 106 000 vehicles.

  • Development of Tung Chung New Town in Hong Kong H. Wang, W
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 33, © 1998 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Development of Tung Chung New Town in Hong Kong H. Wang, W. Wong Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Horn, Kowloon, Hong Kong Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected]. hk Abstract Hong Kong's new airport at Chek Lap Kok is scheduled to open on July 6, 1998. At present, construction of all major projects is either at the last stage or in completion. Tung Chung New Town, one of the Airport Core Programme (ACP), has been initially set up for housing 216,000 people by 2006 and providing living area for servicing staff of the new airport. Based on the case study on the development of Tung Chung New Town, this paper illustrates the relationship between transport system and land use development. In the paper, referring to many survey data and research results, the development of Tung Chung New Town is shown to be essential due to the relocation of the Hong Kong Airport. On the other hand, comparing with other new towns in Hong Kong, Tung Chung New Town is provided with better transport system links that minimize the travel time and improve the comfort and accessibility to other parts of the territory. This makes Tung Chung New Town a more attractive new town for people to reside. 1 Introduction In the past twenty years, the Hong Kong International Airport at Kai Tak has commenced a series of improvement to cater for the continuous growth in passengers and cargo.

  • Dispute Resolution Boards and the Hong Kong Airport: an Exciting Example of Commercial Dispute Resolution in Action
    Dispute Resolution Boards and the Hong Kong Airport: An Exciting Example of Commercial Dispute Resolution in Action By Robert K. Wrede, JD, LLM Historical Setting Since the British returned Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty in July 1997, Hong Kong has been a Special Administrative Region of the Peoples' Republic of China. Despite its return to Chinese sovereignty, Hong Kong remains, distinctly British in tone, but Asian in temperament, and its fiercely independent inhabitants continue to vigorously defend Hong Kong's autonomy under the characteristically ambiguous Chinese policy slogan: "One country, two systems." This vibrant, mountainous, densely populated former British colony is but one third the area of Rhode Island. Despite its diminutive size, however, Hong Kong has long been one of Asia's greatest trading, shipping and banking centers. Under its century-and-a-half of British rule, Hong Kong functioned, and now continues to function, both as a major trade conduit between China and the rest of the world, and as a source of its own products and economic resources. Hong Kong's British-dominated recent history, cramped geographical confines, prime coastal location, mountainous terrain, vibrant economy, proximity to mainland China and large, energetic, multicultural population have combined to create both exceptional challenges and exceptional opportunities for Hong Kong's economic, political and social development, and its role in the new global economy and strong economic and political influence on the Peoples' Republic. Among the many results of Hong Kong's growth and thriving economy has been a burgeoning construction industry, involving both numerous large-scale private projects, and many major publicly funded housing, transportation, cultural and other infrastructure projects.

Our report, prepared for Designing Hong Kong Ltd., examines this imbalance from the marine perspective. We audited the 50km of waterfront twice and conducted interviews with major stakeholders to assess necessary improvements to land/water interfaces and to provide recommendations on improvements to the land/water interfaces with the goal of making Victoria Harbour a truly “living” harbour. ii Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project.
