Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor proposed the northern metropolitan area. Financial Secretary Chen Maobo pointed out today (19th) that Hong Kong will have a pattern of "Southern Finance, Northern Innovation and Technology, and East-West Corridor." In addition to the four pillar industries that must enhance their competitiveness or upgrade and transform, they also need to cultivate new industries.


When it comes to urban renewal, Chen Maobo pointed out that if the main purpose of resuming tenement buildings is not to be reclaimed, the whole district's thinking needs to be considered.

For example, he pointed out that Mong Kok may not be able to build many high-rise buildings, you can consider "transferring development", focus on building a high-rise building, and reserve space for public space nearby. If this is the case, "even if public financial subsidies are used. I'm willing to do it all," because the method can help improve the community environment and traffic.


Chen Maobo pointed out that the development of innovation and technology industries in the "Northern Metropolis" is quite natural geographically.

Central support alone is not enough for Hong Kong to strive for development on its own

In a university lecture, Chen Maobo mentioned that the policy address mentions the development of innovation and technology industries in the "Northern Metropolis", and that Hong Kong’s future development of innovation and technology is the top priority. Scientific cooperation, but policy support from the central government alone is not enough. Hong Kong has to fight for it.

Chen Maobo emphasized that innovation and technology must be done. It depends on the strengths of Hong Kong, such as the lack of production and commercialization processes. In this regard, it can rely on the support of the Mainland.

He also mentioned that there are many plans to cultivate talents in innovation and technology in Hong Kong, and efforts have also been increased in the input of talents.

He believes that the development of innovation and technology in the northern metropolitan area can help attract talents, allowing overseas and mainland talents to participate in work in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, respectively, in their habitual lifestyles.

In the future, in addition to the Eastern Knowledge and Technology Corridor, there will also be the Hung Shui Bridge Railway to the west that can connect to Shenzhen Qianhai and Guangzhou intercity traffic, and there will also be the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which is naturally suitable for the development of logistics.

Regarding the original four pillar industries in Hong Kong, Chen Maobo pointed out that the only part that has fallen recently is logistics. He mentioned that the important position of air cargo at Hong Kong International Airport is to think about how to transform with high value-added in the future, such as adding drugs and re-exporting seafood. He also mentioned In the future, the establishment of the "Hong Kong International Airport Logistics Park" in Dongguan will help development.

Chen Maobo expects Hong Kong's "blue ocean" in the Mainland and Southeast Asia

Chen Maobo emphasized that Hong Kong must not only look at the European and American markets in the future, but must integrate into the overall development of the country. He believes that the future "blue ocean" is likely to be in the Mainland and developing Southeast Asia.

He pointed out that Hong Kong's positioning is to rely on the motherland, face the world, and make good use of the advantages of "one country, two systems."

He mentioned that the concept of internal and external circulation in the "14th Five-Year Plan" believes that the country's reintroduction of the concept of internal and external circulation is due to the suppression of the United States. Faced with the Huawei incident and the unfavorable development of 5G externally, he believes that China can no longer simply repeat the previous economic model of relying on processing.

He pointed out that the mainland has a middle-class population of 400 million, and the future economic growth will be rapid. It is believed that the internal circulation of domestic demand can be promoted while maintaining the external circulation. Hong Kong must find a separate foothold for internal and external circulation to integrate into development.

Chen Maobo pointed out that if reconstruction with a community mindset can help improve the environment and transportation, he would be willing to do it even with public financial subsidies.

Land search work must insist on reconstruction work to help community subsidies are willing to do

Some students asked about housing issues at the meeting, whether there are any specific details about the elimination of sub-divided housing in 2047, and whether the redevelopment of old areas only includes tenement houses and whether they will consider repossession of other houses.

In response, Chen Maobo pointed out that the living environment of the subdivided houses is difficult. He used to serve as the Secretary for Development. At that time, he was criticized for "blindly grabbing land" and "seizing needles", and rezoned "government, institution or community land" and greening land into residential land. It was mentioned that Kai Tak planned to house 270,000 people when it returned, but it was reduced to 90,000 people after the financial turmoil. When he took over, he wanted to rezone and increase residential land.

He emphasized that Hong Kong did not lack methods, but needed persistence. He mentioned that university students had applied for judicial review of the land rezoning in Tai Po. Later, the land rezoning of three neighboring universities were all applied for judicial review by university students.

He emphasized that although these land rezoning works are "abominable to blacks," they need to be persisted when the overall interests are involved.

As for the reconstruction work, Chen Maobo explained that the plot ratio of the tenement house has not yet been used up, which makes it easier for developers to estimate the profit.

For example, he pointed out that Mong Kok may not be able to build many high-rise buildings, you can consider "transferring development", focus on building a high-rise building, and reserve space for public space nearby. I’m willing to do it," because the method can help improve the community’s environment and traffic.

Chen Maobo: It is necessary to help young people to better grasp the opportunities of the Greater Bay Area to take the national development express. The redevelopment of Mong Kok in Yau Ma Tei tells the story of the URA for 30 years
