Northern Metropolis

The Northern Metropolis covers the Yuen Long District and North District, including new towns in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long and Fanling/ Sheung Shui, various New Development Areas in different planning and development stages and their neighboring areas, with a toal area of 30000 hectares (about one third of the total area of Hong Kong).

As a new engine for the future development of Hong Kong, the Northern Metropolis will inject new economic impetus into Hong Kong. IN particular, by providing new land for development of innovation and technology (I&T) industry, the Northern Metropolis can support Hong Kong to become an International I&T centre under the new industrial pattern of "South-North dual engine (finance-I&T)" The Northern Metropolis is close to Shenzhen's metropolitan core and the base of I&T industry with the greatest development momentum, and having seven land-based boundary control points, forging an essential platform for our cooperation with other Greater Bay Area cities. The Government is actively taking forward the development of the Northern Metropolis. The entire Northern Metropolis will eventually develop as a metropolitan with a residential population of about 2.5 million and providing about 650 000 jobs.
