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.
