The NDA will be a green city adopting a sustainable and energy saving strategy in respect of town
planning, urban design, transportation and green infrastructure to achieve efficiency, carbon emission
reduction and sustainable living. Major population, economic activities and community facilities will
be concentrated within walking distance of mass transit and public transport nodes. Green mobility
is promoted within the NDA through the introduction of the Green Transport Corridor (GTC) and a
comprehensive cycling and pedestrian network. To promote sustainable use of water, reusing treated
sewage effluent and harvested rainwater for non-potable purposes such as toilet flushing and irrigation
within the NDA will be explored. Sustainable Drainage System and blue-green infrastructure will also be
pursued.

Development in Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen

New Development Area

In planning the development of the HSK/HT NDA, suitable site have been reserved for various types of
land uses including residential, commercial, industrial, open space and the provision of different types of
community and infrastructural facilities to meet the needs of the population.

Housing

Residential sites with higher development intensity are planned around the proposed HSK Station and
the existing Tuen Ma Line TSW Station to reinforce their respective functions as Regional Economic
and Civic Hub and District Commercial Node. The development intensity descends towards the Lau Fau
Shan and Deep Bay areas in the northern part of the NDA. The proposed public/private housing ratio in
HSK/HT NDA will help achieve a proper
balance in the regional context. Existing
village clusters within the NDA (Figure 31)
will be retained where possibleand the
historical relics and monuments will be
preserved. Upon completion of the planned
development, the overall flat mix ratio of the
HSK/HT NDA will be about 51:49 between
public (including public rental housing and
subsidised sale flat) and private permanent
housing (including village housing). Taking
both the NDA and the TSW New Town
together, the overall public to private
housing ratio will become 69:31. The Figure 31: Existing village clusters within the NDA
planned population in the HSK/HT NDA will
be about 218 000.
