Is the EELM proposal technically feasible?
Our engineering consultant finds that the site is suitable for reclamation in
terms of technical requirements such as water depth and hydraulic
condition. The natural barriers around the proposed site will keep the wave height
within a normal range seen in Hong Kong even during typhoons. The EELM’s
territory has also been designed to bypass fairways such that sea vessel
traffic will not be disrupted.

housing for 0.7 to 1.1 million housing typically accounts for about
residents. The per capita living 50-80% of overall housing in our
space can thus be increased, and existing new towns. We propose

aspiration of homeownership of the

How can the EELM plan help Hong Kong people
in homeownership?

There are various factors
causing Hong Kong’s sky-high
property prices. We believe
that the EELM can increase
housing supply substantially,
thus stabilising the property
market. We hope that property
prices can be less exorbitant
compared to our median
household income.
