Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands

107. The Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands will provide 1 000 hectares of land, creating a new central district with liveable, smart, green and resilient development strategies. The Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands will also connect the Hong Kong Island, Lantau Island, the airport, New Territories West and even Qianhai of Shenzhen. The Government will commence the environmental impact assessment process this year. The newly established Committee on the Financing of Major Development Projects will put forward proposals on the financing arrangements for the reclamation of the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands, associated infrastructure and strategic transport infrastructure development. We also plan to set up a gallery to showcase our major construction projects including the Northern Metropolis and the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands.
