Planning and Urban Design Concept of TCNTE

Transit-Oriented Development

TCNTE will be served by new TCE and TCW stations on MTR Tung Chung Line. To capitalise on the
development opportunities presented by major new public transport links to the territory and also within
Tung Chung, the concept of Transit-Oriented Development is utilised to create highly concentrated hubs
of activity and residential areas in close proximity to the proposed new railway stations, maximising
development potential of development areas, and promoting energy efficiency and minimising carbon
emissions. In TCE, a Metro Core Area (Figure 18) adjacent to the proposed TCE rail station will serve as
an integrated development with housing, office and retail facilities.

Comprehensive Connectivity

Apart from new railway stations, a section of Road P1 connecting TCE with NLH will be constructed
to provide an external highway connection. A comprehensive road network has been designed
in TCNTE to connect the residential sites, commercial sites and GIC facilities (Figure 19). Public
Transport Interchanges will be provided to facilitate convenient transfer of various transport modes and
enhancement of internal circulation. Comprehensive pedestrian networks incorporated into the Linear
Park system will link up the Metro Core Area and other residential sites with the waterfront, the town
centre area and all the key public facilities and activity nodes such as the waterfront parks and marina.
