Key Responsibility
The Department is responsible for formulating, monitoring and reviewing urban and rural
planning policies and plans, and undertaking associated tasks for physical development of
Hong Kong. It deals with all matters relating to long-term planning strategies at the territorial
level; and land use planning, development control and planning enforcement at the district
level.
We also provide both professional and secretariat services to the Town Planning Board (TPB) to perform
its statutory planning functions under the provision of the Town Planning Ordinance (TPO).
Readers may wish to refer to the TPB website at https://www.tpb.gov.hk for a more detailed description
