Cavern Master Plan EvEnts In BrIEf
The ‘Long-term Strategy for Cavern Development – Feasibility Study’ completed by CEDD in
conjunction with the Department has formulated a strategic territory-wide Cavern Master Plan
(CMP) to facilitate planning and implementing cavern development. The CMP is a planning
tool providing a broad strategic planning framework to guide and facilitate territory-wide cavern
development in Hong Kong.
The CMP was awarded the Winner of the 'Innovative Underground Space Concept of the Year'
in the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association Tunnelling Awards 2017
in Paris in November 2017.
At the invitation of the Built Environment Trust in the United Kingdom, the CMP has
showcased alongside some of the best underground projects internationally at an exhibition on
‘Welcome to the Underworld’ at the Building Centre in Central London as a ground-breaking
case study from early March until late June 2018. The event space is dedicated to promoting
innovation in the built environment and viewed by audience of architects, engineers and
planners as well as the public.
