Hong Kong city construction process

There are certain similarities and differences between Hong Kong’s urban construction and domestic and British construction planning. Generally speaking, from the perspective of Hong Kong’s urban construction strategy, it has always stayed in the stage of social housing intensive planning.

The main thing is the self-sufficient economic characteristic, which creates extremely rare socio-cultural differences in Hong Kong’s urban areas.

However, from this perspective, Hong Kong’s urban planning has attracted the ability of technological innovation and introduced young scientific and technological talents from different industries. Such unique commonalities have created the uniqueness and specificity of Hong Kong cities.

Analysis from Hong Kong residential buildings:

At present, it is not entirely possible to determine whether Hong Kong ’s residential area planning follows Singapore ’s, but there are still many similarities in the urban planning of the two areas.

Although Hong Kong was previously mainly under the jurisdiction of the British government, its residential areas The plan is still based on the British residential plan, but it is also based on the geographical location of Hong Kong and the number of local residents.

The population burst in the 1950s, the population increased from 750,000 in 1945 to 2.2 million in 1950. It was not until 1953 that the fire at Shek Kip Mei’s wooden house caused 50,000 victims to be homeless.

The Hong Kong government took measures and was forced to build the first-generation social housing, Kumiko Village, with a total of 9,200 units, mainly to solve the housing problem of the victims.

From 1950 to 1970, due to the turmoil in the country, the population flowing into Hong Kong increased by 1.8 million. On the one hand, it was affected by the domestic revolution, and on the other hand, the effectiveness of Singapore’s residential houses played a demonstration role.

In 1973, the British government in Hong Kong decided to officially launch the “10-year housing construction plan”, which solved the goal of providing housing for 1.8 million people in the 1980s.

Hong Kong has provided relevant solutions for the planning of residential areas for urban residents and has officially entered the construction planning phase of Hong Kong’s residential areas.

Subsequently, Hong Kong has developed a total of nine new towns. Since the beginning of the new towns in the 1990s, the total population of Hong Kong has reached more than 4 million.

Since the statistics of 2019, the population of Hong Kong has reached 7.507 million. Hong Kong has surged in 30 years. 3.5 million people. However, the population of the new town has increased by more than 3 million from 500,000 30 years ago.

Over the past 30 years, Hong Kong ’s surge in population has not affected the population density of Hong Kong ’s residential districts and has been accepted by the new town plans.

In the new town planning, the ratio of public housing and private buildings developed by Hong Kong real estate developers is 6: 4, and the proportion of some new towns is almost 5: 5. As the residential housing in the current urban planning is mainly self-owned The main body has greatly improved social stability.

Analysis from economic and social aspects

Since the 1970s, Hong Kong has begun construction of the first new towns: Tsuen Wan, Sha Tin, and Tuen Mun.

Promulgated from the Housing, Planning and Lands Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government: The construction of the new town plan is for balanced development and self-sufficiency.

It not only provides Hong Kong residents with enough residential, commercial and recreational facilities but also provides Residents’ employment opportunities have also attracted more and more young talents from the Mainland (except Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) to Hong Kong.

Most of the large hospitals and universities in Hong Kong are located in the new town area.

Beginning in 1980, the implementation of the domestic reform and opening-up policy, the Hong Kong government put forward this reform: can no longer emphasize the development of self-sufficiency strategy, the Hong Kong Municipal Planning Bureau decided not to take the new town as the focus of residents’ employment, then transferred to the military.

The Australian industrial zone is to be a high-tech industrial zone. However, Hong Kong’s manufacturing jobs began to decline in the precipice of the 1980s. Among them, the apparel manufacturing industry lost nearly 2 million jobs in a decade.

However, employment in the Hong Kong service industry is increasing. Since the reform and opening-up were proposed, more and more mainlanders have traveled to Hong Kong and opened companies, increasing employment opportunities in the service industry in Hong Kong and providing more and more employment opportunities to the service industry.

The financial industry has also shown a comprehensive rise from the mid-1970s, and the real estate industry has risen sharply in the early 1990s.

Looking at the distribution of Hong Kong’s traffic and highway sections, the Hong Kong government invested 6 billion Hong Kong dollars in the early stage of the construction of the system on February 12, 1980.

In December of the same year, the Hong Kong government approved the construction of the Hong Kong Island Line, which shortened the development of the Hong Kong Island Line.

The time between Hong Kong, Kowloon, and other places has increased the mode of transportation between people except for ferries, promoted trade between various regions of Hong Kong, increased employment opportunities for residents in various regions, and accelerated the pace of urban construction.

Analysis of the construction of residents’ comfort:

From the perspective of Hong Kong’s architecture, environment and infrastructure, the construction quality of Hong Kong New City are very good.

Its construction volume and property management are clear, public facilities are compact, and the good connection between the subway and shopping malls. The service environment is more commercialized and promotes the development of the service industry.

Aiming at the sewage discharge of millions of residents in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Agency has passed the Water Pollution Management Ordinance specifically for residents’ sewage management, laying more sewage channels and extending public sewage discharge time faster.

And in terms of collecting and treating sewage, a “purification of harbor plan” was proposed to effectively control the pollution of the harbor by domestic sewage.

Since the 1980s, Hong Kong has vigorously developed transportation and public measures. It has increased trade between Hong Kong’s various regions, increased employment opportunities, and increased the opportunities for residents to work nearby, reducing the distance and travel time for local residents to work.

Analysis of the influx of new types of population:

Since the 1990s, a large number of domestic residents have poured into Hong Kong. Statistics show that between 1991 and 2001, the number of Hong Kong residents increased by 1 million.

It has provided a lot of young scientific and technological talents for employment in Hong Kong, and promoted the development of Hong Kong’s economy and technology.

In response to this situation, the Hong Kong Government has released the “Science Talent Introduction Plan” since 2017, which has further promoted the entry of knowledgeable young people for Hong Kong City construction contributes a lot of talents.

For example, Hong Kong’s infrastructure construction planning, Hong Kong’s container port transportation management, and high-tech industry talents have further promoted the pace of Hong Kong’s urban construction, and also promoted Hong Kong to become a center of international finance, free trade, and shipping trade step by step.
