What role does Territorial Development Strategy play in town-planning in Hong Kong?
The Territorial Development Strategy (TDS) is the highest tier of planning in the hierarchy of town plans in Hong Kong. It provides a broad land use, transport and environmental framework for planning and development. It also serves as a basis for preparation of sub-regional plans and more detailed district plans.
The last review of the TDS was completed in 1996. Taking into account the emergence of new factors having strategic planning implications, a new round of review, the Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy, commenced in 2000. The study is to assess Hong Kong's future development needs in a wider regional perspective and for a longer time horizon.
To enhance public awareness and to build community consensus, the public will be consulted extensively throughout the study process. The study is expected to be completed this year.
