Today, more than 3.3 million people live in New Towns such as Sha Tin, Ma On Shan and Tseung Kwan O New Town development has been vital to Hong Kong's success Any New Town development will inevitably affect the lives of some people Eligible residents affected will be offered rehousing in the same district or provided an ex-gratia payment If everybody expects “no removal” and "no demolition" Hong Kong will have no development and we can’t address the housing problem The North East New Territories New Development Areas – the New Town for Hong Kong people |
