CONNECTING VICTORIA PARK TO THE HARBOUR


Hong Kong Harbour has always provided the city with a spectacular natural environment to complement its intense urban character. This vibrant interaction between the peaks, harbour and the city has created a signature image known the world over.

The Harbour has long been the focus of the city, including its rapid development over the last few decades as Hong Kong has transformed from a working industrial harbour to a service economy. The current and growing longing to be near the water is jeopardised by the roadways and infrastructure that were deemed necessary for urban growth.

Causeway Bay and Victoria Park today
With this proposal, Swire Properties responds to the Government’s quest to seek an optimal solution for the harbourfront in Causeway Bay—a design that provides a public waterfront for the people of Hong Kong and a world-class open space that brings Victoria Park to the Harbour, minimizing the impacts of infrastructure, and reflecting our wish to be a true world-class city.

It is hoped that this proposal will encourage the Government to examine the possibilities of looking at the Harbour in a holistic and integrated manner, to meet the many calls for such an approach in recent times.
