Concrete Analysis | The upcoming districts that will define Hong Kong’ future as a business, knowledge and cultural hub
Tuen Mun, Yau Tsim Mong and Lok Ma Chau are developing into strategic intersections with mainland China
Beyond the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong’s core business districts are several areas quietly growing and becoming of greater importance – not only for the city but the region and China’s “Greater Bay Area” initiative.
The districts of Tuen Mun, Yau Tsim Mong and Lok Ma Chau are developing into strategic intersections with the mainland that will increasingly benefit Hong Kong. These are places where transport and logistics connections are being advanced, and business, technology and cultural linkages are being nurtured to reveal future opportunities.
Tuen Mun is a bridgehead
Tuen Mun will greatly benefit from the Greater Bay Area initiative and is set to become a critical gateway for the flow of people, goods, technology and expertise to and from China. Its value as a critical bridgehead is highlighted by the fact that it is not only an attractive place for Hongkongers to live, but has similar appeal for mainland residents pursuing careers or businesses on both sides of the border.
Tuen Mun’s strategic value is further evidenced by the interlinking role the district will play in the coming years. Within four years, the completion of the Tuen Mun to Chek Lap Kok link will provide the most direct route between the northwestern New Territories, Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong- Zhuhai -Macau bridge.
