Kai Tak Development(KTD)is a major harbourfront development at the heart of Hong Kong adopting sustainable development and environmentally-friendly concepts.Its land use and development planning have gone through extensive public engagement exercises leading to a blueprint for the vision being “A distinguished,vibrant,attractive and people-oriented community by Victoria Harbour.KTD is also the catalyst for re-energising the surrounding older districts and creating a new Central Business District for Hong Kong.With the implementation timeframe spanning over a decade,KTD has already witnessed the completion of its first package of public works projects starting from 2013.These projects include bio-remediation at the Kai Tak Approach Channel and Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter together with associated drainage works which have notably improved the water quality and mitigated the odour issues associated with the water bodies.Additional footbridges and revamp of existing pedestrian subways have enhanced the walking experience and connectivity between KTD and its neighbourhood.New buildings at KTD comprising the Trade and Industry Tower,Energizing Kowloon East Office building,schools and sewage pumping stations have met the Building Environmental Assessment Method Plus,or BEAM Plus,green building ratings.Kwun Tong Promenade and Runway Park Phase 1 at the former runway tip have become favourable rendezvous for the public to enjoy the waterfront.In addition,continual efforts are maintained with a view to promoting sustainable built environment through application of District Cooling System,development of extensive green web with signature open spaces,revitalisation of heritage discovery,and opening up harbourfront area for public enjoyment.This paper attempts to elucidate how KTD is planned and implemented in the quest for sustainability being the impetus of Hong Kongs economic growth.
