1. North Lantau Corridor
To capitalise on the ‘Double Gateway’ strategic
location and for the sustainable growth of Hong
Kong, the following key developments along
North Lantau Corridor will form a critical mass to
promote agglomeration economies and accelerate
the overall economic development of Hong Kong:
North Lantau (From Tai Ho to Sunny Bay)
Future Developments on Airport Island including the Three-Runway System and
North Commercial District
The 3RS project will involve construction of a new
runway, a new terminal, an airfield and associated
facilities on the 650-hectare newly reclaimed land.
Upon completion of the project, about 123 000
direct jobs will be available at HKIA.
Located next to the airport, the integrated
25 development of SKYCITY will comprise retail
complexes, entertainment facilities, dining areas,
hotels and offices. The Three-Runway System Project

Topside Development at HKBCF Island of HZMB
Other than being the landing point of HZMB, the
HKBCF Island is merely 1 kilometre away from
the HKIA and is well connected to North Lantau
and the Northwestern New Territories via TM-
CLKL. Future topside development at this island
could enjoy the great potential for providing office,
modern logistics, retail, dining and entertainment
facilities as well as meeting and convention facilities
under the development theme of ‘the World
Converging’.
