270 ha, 4400 homes? For shame! Tung Chung East, part of a new development on the northern edge of Lantau Island in Hong Kong, is reclaiming ~130 ha and building ~62000 units, housing ~184k people. > The TCNTE was originally planned with 49 400 housing units with public / private housing split of 63:37. To meet keen housing demand and optimise infrastructural investments, we have recently reviewed the technical feasibility of intensifying the development density of TCNTE housing sites. With the spare infrastructural capacity so identified and revision of the public housing flat design, we are able to increase the overall housing yield from 49 400 units to 62 100 units for estimated total population of 184 000 subject to subsequent planning approvals to be obtained. The increase of 12 700 units will all be public housing with the resultant public/private housing split adjusted to 72:28. In terms of commercial facilities, the TCNTE will provide about 877 000 square metres (m2) floorspace generating some 40 000 jobs. https://www.legco.gov.hk/yr20-21/english/fc/pwsc/papers/p20-24e.pdf https://www.legco.gov.hk/yr20-21/english/fc/pwsc/papers/p20-... https://www.tung-chung.hk/ https://www.tung-chung.hk/ build up, not out!
