The Conservancy Association 's opinions on the
planning of Kai Tak
1. The Kai Tak planning area should provide opportunity for urban
regeneration so as to improve the living quality in the district
around, i.e., provide spaces for housing, cultural, sport and
recreational activities for the older urban areas of Hunghom,
Kowloon City, Wong Tai Sin, and Kwun Tong districts.
2. The concept of sustainable development should be embedded in the
Kai Tak development planning. As such, large territorial facilities
such as stadium, if needed, should be located in Kai Tak because
this area can be more easily and efficiently supported by
infrastructure such as drainage and railway and the footprint of
these facilities will not spread to virgin land in the New
Territories.
3. Public engagement process must be incorporated throughout the
planning process. CA appreciates the engagement process in the first
stage of public participation initiated by the Planning Department
and aided by the appointed consultant. The process must be genuine
and CA is looking forward to seeing consensus from the first stage
engagement process be incorporated into the second stage of planning
scheme generation.. |
