Urban Design Studies (UDSs)
UDS for Tung Chung New Town Extension
The Tung Chung New Town Extension (TCNTE) covers a total of 245 ha on the eastern
and western flanks of the existing Tung Chung New Town. The Study was commissioned
in February 2018 to formulate more in-depth design initiatives for various focus areas
including open spaces and major development sites in the TCNTE Area, including creation
of activity nodes for a vibrant waterfront promenade and introduction of retail frontage and
all-weather facilities along major pedestrian spines connecting the Metro Core Area and
other residential sites with the waterfront. In Q4 2021, a series of urban design measures
have been formulated to guide future development. Besides, to allow flexibility, some
other design initiatives would be specified as advisory items in the Urban Design Guidelines
and Manual for the TCNTE Area providing reference to future developers and government
departments during implementation stage. The Consultant is finalising the guidelines/
manuals for TCNTE.
