Taking Kwu Tung NDA as an example, major venues for leisure activities and
public service facilities within the area will be located within 500m from
the future Kwu Tung railway station and the public transport interchange.
Public transport and various supporting facilities will be accessible to
most of the future residents, which will help minimise vehicular traffic and

carbon emission. According to the preliminary proposal, the seven liveable
living communities of KYCAI are planned with 15-minute neighbourhood
concept. Each community will be around 80-100 ha, and they will be
connected by a green mass transit system and separated by blue-green
corridors with green waterfront promenade along the shorelines. As for
the planning of each community, a green mass transit station is planned
at the centre, with the public transport stations, daily shopping and dining
facilities, basic community facilities, open spaces, etc. reasonably distributed
within the community. At the same time, these places will be connected by

comprehensive pedestrian and cycling track networks, allowing residents
to travel by healthy modes such as walking or cycling within 15 minutes
from their homes to different destinations to obtain various necessities.
Furthermore, land will be reserved in the Northern Metropolis and the KYCAI
for a diversified development of industries, with a view to increasing the local
employment rate within the community.
