8.  Unfortunately, the "Analysis Report" mentions that the existing
                   and planned projects in Hong Kong can only provide about 3,600
                   hectares of land. Therefore, OHKF supports the development of
                   the "East Lantau Metropolis" in the area near Kau Yi Chau and the
                   Hei Ling Chau Typhoon Shelter, and hopes it can be implemented
                   as soon as possible. With roads and railways connection to Hong
                   Kong Island and Lantau Island, East Lantau Metropolis could
                   become Hong Kong's third core business district. In addition,
                   OHKF also supports the "New Territories North Development"
                   project  to  support modern  industry  by  utilising the brownfield
                   sites and abandoned farmland in the northern part of the New
                   Territories and connecting the entire development area via the
                   Northern Link to establish a new town which makes same-district
                   employment possible.



               9.  However,  even  if  the  abovementioned  projects  can  successfully  be
                   implemented, we still face a supply shortfall of 4,000 hectares. Given
                   the dire situation of the acute shortage of land, OHKF holds that
                   Hong Kong needs a more ambitious plan of land creation to support
                   the long-term development. With reference to the 25 potential
                   reclamation sites initially proposed by the government in 2012, we
                   sketched out a more aggressive preliminary concept map so that we
                   can create our “New Rose Garden” (Figure).
