The major elements of the landscape framework are the Central Park and the riverside promenade. They
serve as major green civic and recreation cores in the framework linking the open spaces with green
corridors. These landscape areas will definitely contribute to the improvement of quality of life for the
high-density developments of the district nodes.

The landscape framework also aims to maximise the integration of natural elements in the urban fabric
such as tree and shrub planting, lawn areas in addition to high quality hard landscape elements such
as feature paving, lighting and street furniture and sculptural elements such as landmark, sculptures
and water features. The mitigation meanders to the north of Fung Kai Schools would be retained and
incorporated in the design of the regional open space along Ng Tung River as an important landscape
feature (Figure 33).
