The "Northern Metropolis Development Strategy" is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this year's Special Administrative Region Government's "Policy Address", and it also caused hot talk in the city.
Focusing on hot topics of concern to the public, organizations, and various sectors, Wang Jixian, research director of the Hong Kong Center in the Greater Bay Area, thinks more calmly, long-term and close to the ground.
Although Wang Jixian was born in Beijing, he was hired as a faculty member in the Department of Geography of the University of Hong Kong as early as 1993. He participated in more than 30 research projects on port city planning and development in both dry and port areas and even in Asia. Everything is well understood.

What new changes will the "Northern Metropolis Development Strategy" bring to the development of New Territories North?
