Promoting Green Transportation and Connectivity
To reduce carbon emission and pursue a greener living environment, a compact city form is adopted in
the KTN NDA with a majority of the new population concentrated near the proposed Kwu Tung Station and
public transport interchanges (PTIs). The primary distributors and main district distributors to the NDA
are planned at the periphery of the town centre to minimise noise and air pollution to the future residents.
Green neighbourhood and building design should be adopted in the future development of the sites.
A comprehensive pedestrian walkway system and cycle track network is planned within the KTN NDA to
minimise road traffic and carbon emission, as well as to ensure good connectivity between the proposed
major activity nodes, proposed development sites and existing recognised villages of Ho Sheung Heung
and Yin Kong, and to connect KTN NDA with the FLN NDA, Kwu Tung South and Fanling/Sheung Shui
New Town. This would promote the shared use of community, recreational and commercial facilities, and
enhance employment opportunities within the local district.
