            The Northern Metropolis


            The Northern Metropolis covers Yuen Long and North Districts, including the boundary
            areas between Hong Kong and Shenzhen with seven boundary control points (BCPs).  It
            comprises a number of major development clusters with transport proposals to enhance

            their accessibility and inter-connectivity.  This Metropolis commands a favourable location
            for the innovation and technology industry and encompasses rich cultural and natural
            resources.
