Embracing the Harbour’s Assets

Victoria Harbour is an internationally renowned icon, and a special public asset and

natural heritage of Hong Kong. For many years, while most of the harbourfront
areas have been shaped for various functions to support our vibrant city, the

Government is committed to realising the Harbour Planning Vision of building an
attractive, vibrant, accessible and sustainable harbourfront. A number of planning

and design studies for the harbourfront areas have been conducted over the past
years, striving to bring the Harbour Planning Vision to life. The Government has

also earmarked $6.5 billion of dedicated funding to extend the existing 23 km long
harbourfront promenades to 34 km by 2028, with an additional 35 ha of open

space.
