The concept map of the three islands of "Lantau Tomorrow" is exposed!
"Hong Kong 01" received news earlier that the latest plan for the Kau Yi Chau artificial island has changed from two islands to three islands.
The Development Bureau today (20th) released research documents on artificial islands in the central waters, confirming that the three artificial islands are located in the north, west, and south of relatively shallow water, with a core business area of 100 hectares, and based on the "15-minute living circle concept" As a selling point, it is estimated that the whole project can provide 190,000 to 210,000 residential units
In terms of transportation, the authorities plan to build a 30-kilometer railway, passing through Hong Kong Island West, Artificial Island, Sunny Bay, Tuen Mun East, and extending to the Hongshui Bridge in the northern metropolitan area; About 13 kilometers, the document describes that it will be the first major arterial road between Hong Kong Island and the Northwest New Territories without passing through Kowloon. It is expected to be completed in 2033 to match the occupation period of the first batch of residents.

According to the latest document, the initially proposed 1,000-hectare Kau Yi Chau artificial island will be composed of three islands, of which A and B are about 380 hectares each, while C is about 240 hectares, and each island is separated by a "Y-shaped" waterway.
According to the document, the layout of the "Three Islands Design" can avoid the ecologically valuable stony coral communities along Kau Yi Chau, Xiao Kao Yi Chau, Zhou Gong Island and Peng Chau, and the "Y-shaped" water channel can keep the water flowing moderately in the adjacent waters, so It can cope with the impact of reclamation on water quality and ecology, and can also reduce the urban heat island effect.
As for the reclamation site, the document mentions that it is recommended to fill the sea in relatively shallow waters, so it is selected to fill the sea at an average depth of about 8 meters in the north, west and south, while the east side with relatively deep water (about 12 to 15 meters in depth) ) to avoid reclamation.
The document mentions that the preliminary results of the environmental impact assessment by the authorities show that the proposed reclamation project has no insurmountable problems in terms of ecology and fisheries, and will consider adding outlying island cultural tourism elements on the island, such as Fisherman’s Wharf, to provide local fishing industry with To upgrade and transform opportunities, the Government will also review the mechanism for distributing ex-gratia allowances to fishermen affected by marine projects in Hong Kong waters.

In terms of artificial island planning, the core business district covers a total area of about 100 hectares, including commercial, residential, cultural and recreational, recreational, and travel-related uses. According to the document, it is located in the east of Island A and enjoys the geographical advantage of being closer to Hong Kong Island. , will provide approximately 4 million square meters of commercial gross floor area.
The artificial island advertises that it plans seven livable living communities based on the "15-minute living circle concept". They will be connected by an environmentally friendly collective transportation system and separated by blue-green corridors. There will also be green seaside promenades along the coast.
Each community will cover an area of about 80 to 100 hectares, centered on an environmentally friendly mass transit system station.

The document also mentioned the development parameters of the artificial island. The authorities initially proposed to build about 190,000 to 210,000 residential units on the artificial island. The ratio of public and private housing is seven to three. 270,000 jobs, of which 200,000 jobs are located in the core business district.
In terms of transportation, the route proposed by the authorities initially connects existing or planned major arterial roads and railways, connecting Hong Kong International Airport, Zhuhai and Macau to the west, the northern metropolitan area, Qianhai and Shenzhen to the north, and Kowloon West to the east , and to the south, it connects Hong Kong Island West and Central. Among them, the Hong Kong Island West Connection Road is planned to start simultaneously during the reclamation project, and is expected to be completed in 2033 to match the occupation period of the first batch of residents on the artificial island.
The authorities also plan to extend the railway northward to Hongshui Bridge and connect with the planned Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Railway (Shuishui Bridge to Qianhai). The total length of the railway from Hong Kong Island to Hongshui Bridge is about 30 kilometers. A station, the railway passes through Hong Kong Island West, Artificial Island, Sunny Bay, Tuen Mun East, and extends to Hongshui Bridge in the northern metropolitan area, connecting to the planned Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Railway (Shuishui Bridge to Qianhai).
As for the environment-friendly collective transportation system, the authorities initially suggested setting up a depot at a reserved location on the artificial island C, and transferring to the Hong Kong Island West to Hongshui Bridge Railway at a suitable location on the island.
In addition, each community on the artificial island will have a new generation of transportation interchange hub, and use this as the center to facilitate passengers to transfer to various modes of transportation to connect various communities, so that public transportation services can effectively cover the artificial island of Kau Yi Chau s population.
Tomorrow’s Lantau｜The latest construction cost rises to $580 billion. The government expects the artificial island to sell land for $750 billion. There is a profit. According to the news of the artificial island, the total cost is 580 billion
