Hong Kong considers building homes above port

A government-appointed committee is looking into the feasibility of moving Hong Kong’s Kwai Tsing container terminal or of building homes on an elevated platform above it.

The Task Force on Land Supply will ask Hong Kong residents for views on these two ideas, along with 13 other land supply solutions, in a public consultation in March 2018.

Hong Kong’s container port was the biggest in the world not long ago. Now, however, it has slipped down the rankings as it has lost traffic to Pearl River Delta rivals Shenzen and Guangzhou.
