Hong Kong Conference - On-demand recording

The Hong Kong government has implemented various policies aimed at promoting a sustainable and inclusive city. One such policy is Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2050, setting out the vision of “Zero-carbon Emissions, Liveable City and Sustainable Development", which focuses on creating a more liveable and sustainable city through the development of new housing, commercial and recreational areas, as well as the improvement of existing infrastructure and transportation systems.

As a new engine for Hong Kong's future development, the "Northern Metropolitan Area" plan will realize the layout of finance in the south and science and technology in the north. It will be the focus of future urban construction and development to make good use of the mechanism and strengthen communication with Shenzhen and Guangdong Province, jointly plan to utilize geographical convenience, strengthen coordinated development and cooperation in industrial planning, and promote the integration of people and businesses in Hong Kong into the overall national development.

The government's policies on real estate and construction play a significant role in shaping the industry's development and its impact on the city. These policies include measures to control land supply, regulate the property market, and ensure sustainable development since the government of Hong Kong has always prioritized the growth of these industries to ensure that the city's urbanization is sustainable and meets the needs of its citizens, whilst radiating to the Greater Bay Area strategy's emphasis on economic integration and cooperation for a co-prosperity expected in the coming years.
