Putting People First
To meet the growing public aspirations for greater accessibility
to the harbourfront, public areas should be created for maximum
benefit for all the community.
A World-Class Park on a World-Class
Waterfront
Victoria Park, as the city’s premier urban park, should
reach out to the waterfront to create a connected, public
open space. Together with a proposed grand harbourfront Park
in Central, Hong Kong could have a truly quality harbourfront
befitting a world-class city.
Minimizing Infrastructure
This proposal recognizes the need for adequate vehicular access
and the infrastructure that allows that access. However, such
requirements should be treated as an integral part of the
plan making process: the impact on the natural and physical
environment should be minimized to provide optimum public
and pedestrian access and amenity.
