給特區的信(30)-正視問題(11)

本港的平原主要集中在新界西北及粉嶺上水一帶,此區域較易發展。另外在大嶼山至東博寮航道間,有機會獲得填海的較大片地。幾年前曾有人士提出過在大嶼山東部海域大幅度填海概念如下圖:
這誇張的填海區有如造出一個約有九龍/新九龍及葵青、荃灣般大的新市區。

鄧如欣 女士/蔣奇威 先生:

1. 大約十年多前,曾在給政府的電郵中戲言,當部份大陸人富起來時,來港旅遊的大陸旅客,會有機會達到每年一億人次,因為香港這「方之珠」的吸引力非常大,幾乎每個大陸同胞都會有興趣來港一遊或多遊。想不到在新近的評估,不足十年便有機會達到一億這大關。

2. 其實早於這戲言之前以至今天,特區政府已早早採取各種措施,增加各類型有關設施及採取適當行動。諸如各種跨境基建,增強通關能力,增加旅遊景點,增加酒店、旅舍容量及監管,加大力度培訓相關人才,跟北京及廣東相討如何逐漸開放各地來港的城市,不斷早作預備。

3. 但問題是大陸的中產階層,增加得太快,而北京亦難以處處設限,令大陸各地人民有這樣一個感覺:「每件事都只為特區好,却不理會他們的感受,回歸後不都是同屬中國公民嚒?」大陸旅客的增速,不單兩地政府無法預計,就連世界其他地方都感到驚愕。這點相信跟大陸的經濟高速增長,人民生活水準普遍提高有莫大關係,其實香港在七、八十年代,也經歷過同樣情況。

4. 全港的公職人員(不單單是公務員及官員,還有各大監督政府機構、非政府組織、各公務委員會及管理局等等),各有關業界,以及所有港人,根本上已經做得極其出色。只是本港實實在在面對『極度缺乏的土地資源』,所謂「巧婦難為無米炊」。若然能夠將香港的市區面積大幅度擴充,對各行各業以至全港市民,將會是多贏的格局。

5. 雖然未能即時解決「燃眉之急」,但作為長遠目標,優點極多,例如:
➀ 人均居住及作息空間大增,但單位面積尺價將因土地相對廉宜而降低
➁ 減低居住密度的同時,狹窄街道的空氣質素,將會獲得大大改善,
➂ 各行各業的工作職位大增,
➃ 年青的世代,也可以享受到二次大戰後,五十、六十甚至七八十後的大量發展及晉升機會(因多個新市鎮或新區域的發展,需要大量人力)
➄ 地產發展商因為麫粉價格廉宜,生產的麫飽價格亦會相對降低,在貨如輪轉的情況下,營利反而有機會比現在還要好,
➅ 只要法治及程序公義做得好,大家都會在發展進程中得益,可以大大減低所謂「仇富心理」;間接「貧富差距」亦會縮窄,
➆ 人均佔用市區面積大增之下,人際間的磨擦及衝突將有望減少,
➇ 因為「做大個餅」後,政府庫房收入將會大增,可作更多有利於整體社會的投入等等。

6. 作為長遠目標及規劃,旁人可以簡單地說出概念,但要按步實行則需要整體社會的共同努力,同時要花上好幾十年時間。然而「熱飯不能熱食」,故此須要同時推出各種必要的短中期措施,以舒緩各方面的緊張情緒。

7. 從以下連結可以看到:


http://hkss.cedd.gov.hk/hkss/eng/education/GS/hkg/chapter9/figure18.jpg  本港的平原主要集中在新界西北及粉嶺上水一帶,此區域較易發展。另外在大嶼山至東博寮航道間,有機會獲得填海的較大片地。

8. 幾年前曾有人士提出過在大嶼山東部海域大幅度填海概念如下圖:
這誇張的填海區有如造出一個約有九龍/新九龍及葵青、荃灣般大的新市區。



建議分三個不同階段,因應須要進行:第一階段以港島與大嶼山之間的交椅洲為落腳點,向南填到外伶仃島。此陸地距離中環十五公里之內,與將軍澳、沙田、荃灣相近,屬現今「市區」定義。第二階段填海至萬山群島中部,不要桂山島。以中環為中心,劃圓三十五公里,即包括現時香港全境與填海區。第三階段連接担桿島,離機場較遠。

10. 交通上可建大橋,從交椅洲分別連接中區、大嶼山及青衣,再從梅窩鑿穿大嶼山到東涌。可能有點天方夜談(因為過中央、廣東省、珠海、壓力團體及普羅市民這幾關。還有資金、技術各方面的問題要考慮)。請代轉至有關方面,看看可行性如何,給港人一個希望。

George Luk

給特區的信(29)-正視問題(10)

再不改變思維,香港將會黯淡無光








每個地方在不同時期,擁有不同的優勢、強項及缺點、弱點。港人每每閉門做車,不能欣賞其他地方的優點,亦無勇氣去承認自己的弱點,以至終日惶恐不安。已經擁有的,不懂珍惜、維持,失去了又自怨自艾。老是埋怨自己運氣不好,機會捨我而去,怨天由人實非港人之福。
沒有足夠的土地及人才,香港便惟有拱手將機會讓給東南亞各大競爭對手。就算將香港的已建築市區面積(built-up urban area)倍增至550平方公里,仍然是極度擠迫的國際大城市。市民應該正視客觀數據:pages 20, 21, Table 1
LARGEST URBAN AREAS IN THE WORLD),
pages 89, Table 4

陳茂波先生:

1. 約一年前新加坡政府發佈《人口白皮書》表示,為了確保經濟保持競爭力,將計劃透過引進更多外來人口,在2030年將本國人口總數增至690萬人,比目前多出30%目前新加坡人口為530萬,其中外來人口佔總人口近四成,而土地面積為714平方公里,約為香港的65%

2. 為了應付未來人口增加後的土地需求,新加坡國家發展部早前發表土地資源規劃書時,計劃以填海造地將國家土地面積擴大10%,增至766平方公里。新加坡目前的「建成區」約為518平方公里,加上計劃新增的52平方公里,2030年時的市區總面積將達570平方公里。

3. 若然香港將現有過份擠迫的275平方公里的「建成區」倍增至550平方公里,將仍然少於新加坡。但2030時本港的人口,肯定比現時的720萬為高,故「建成區」的人口密度仍高於新加坡。當然香港不應處處以她來作比較,自己應有自己的計劃。

4. 除了現時的275sq km的「建成區」及約440sq km的郊野公園及少部份野外土地,留作各種不同需要用途外,其實可供考慮用作發展的地區,仍然為數不少,未必一定要全數向海域打主意。

5. 到時大增的土地,將會令港人及遊客的作息空間大增,各種因土地嚴重短缺而引發的社會問題、衝突及矛盾將得到大大紓緩。市區面積倍增,意味着在原有的香港另建一個香港,起碼需時五、七十年。因為建「新城」帶來的機會及工作,至少會給下兩個世代的香港人,有着上世紀五十年代直至今天的港人的各種機遇。

6. 其實幾十年來,政府及很多港人並非没有為年青一輩作長遠籌謀。以外來投資計,港人是大陸外來的最重要資金及技術來源,比起很多西方經濟大國及日本、南韓、新加坡等地,港人盡佔天時地利人和的先機,即是說港人子弟在大陸發展的機會,大大優於全球各地。還有,中國將有機會在幾年內超越美國,成為世界最大經濟體。與之毗鄰的港澳兩特區,將會是最大的受益者,「近水樓台先得月?」。

給特區的信(28)-正視問題(9)

深圳2010年尾獲批從395平方公里的一線擴容
至全市總面積1948平方公里



深圳三十多年來的人口增長


香港位於全球十大特別擠迫的大城市

香港在幾次全球城市調查報告中的排位

試想想現時整個都會區(包括香港、九龍、荃灣、葵涌、青衣在內),應少於100平方公里,已經是四百萬人的家,工作、上學、消遣、玩樂、旅遊、購物等的主要運作地方。若多建一個兩倍大一點(275平方公里)的建成區(由於香港山多平原少,自然要分處多個不同區域),市民的生活空間便會大大增加,平均個人居住面積大增,同時無須觸及郊野公園。到時不單止一年招呼一億遊客,甚至一億半仍卓卓有餘。

張炳良先生:

1. 之前兩次說到有需要將本港的建成區(市區)面積擴大一倍,其實是參考過其他地方的做法。試想想現時整個都會區(包括荃灣、葵涌、青衣在內),應少於100平方公里,已經是四百萬人的家,工作、上學、消遣、玩樂、旅遊、購物等的主要運作地方。若多建一個兩倍大一點(275平方公里)的建成區(由於香港山多平原少,自然要分處多個不同區域),市民的生活空間便會大大增加,平均個人居住面積大增,同時無須觸及郊野公園。到時不單止一年招呼一億遊客,甚至一億半仍卓卓有餘。

2. 深圳市規劃國土局從一九九三年起組織進行深圳市城市總體規劃修編工作,歷時三年多,經市委、市政府、市人民代表大會審查,經市城市規劃委員會審議,並通過公開展示向廣大市民徵詢意見和建議,於一九九六年底完成了《深圳市城市總體規劃(1996-2010)》成果的編制工作。請參考部份《深圳市城市总体规划(1996-2010)》

3. 2010531日,中央批准了深圳擴大特區版圖的申請。深圳特區範圍延伸至全市,特區總面積將由現在的395平方公里擴容為1948平方公里,接近香港面積的兩倍(香港總面積達1103平方公里)。並於201071日起執行。

4. 24年前,一道鐵絲網將深圳一分為二,至此地理上的關內外概念產生。之後的24,關內外概念逐漸從地理延伸至心理。201071,特區範圍擴大到深圳全市,特區面積從395平方公里擴容到1948平方公里,這座流淌著改革血液的年輕城市正式邁入大特區時代”,很多專家學者對此次特區擴容給予了厚望,表示深圳的下一個春天已經來臨。

5. 另請看看:深圳市城市总体规划(2010-2020
或簡單看看下列連結的規劃圖:(3306×2287 Pixel)

6. 再不急起直追,不出五年,深圳就會在多方面超越本港。

張炳良先生/陳茂波 先生:

1. 現時香港面對的大部份社會問題,如住宅區過份擠迫、居所面積太狹窄、街道上人車太多、社區設施不敷應用,醫院、學校、幼稚園不足,酒店旅館不足,各類型式樓宇、店鋪、商場、寫字樓樓價及租金狂升,中小企及中下階層苦不堪言,人人都滿肚嘮叨,找不到人發洩,便通通歸咎回歸以來,政府及公務員不好好做好份工,令問題纏繞及不斷惡化。其實問題是土地嚴重地短缺,只是港人不肯聚焦在這問題上。

2. 政府及公務員大都駡不還口,因為只要稍稍回應以作解釋,便只有招來更多的指責;這對任何人士都是非常不公道。

3. 請看看附件中幾封十年多前的電郵(曾經看過的,請不要覺得厭煩),因為:
➊ 正如過去近百封電郵,一直指出,各種型式的短、中、長期規劃,從上世紀七八十年代以來,承先啟後,就沒有停頓過或慢下來。
➋ 住屋問題的各種措施,本港在面對如過山車般的環球經濟及樓價高低起伏,應該比較美、歐、日等處理得宜得多。(表面上她們好像將問題平伏,漸漸步入復甦,但極可能好戲仍在後頭)
➌ 從附件中看,自由行帶來的不同問題,特區、廣東省及北京中央政府其實早有盤算,無論CEPA及開放自由行,都是按步實行的。
➍ 在03年前的幾年,所有所謂「惠港措施」(其實甚多是互惠互利的),所需要的籌劃及談判,並非簡簡單單便可以獲得成果,因為90年代以來,大陸進步神速,此消彼長之下,大陸地方政府壯志雄心,不容忽視討價還價的難度,好在親建制及跟大陸有往還的人士,從旁協調,他們跟官員及公務員等的耐性,理應獲得嘉許。但却招來冷言冷語的聲討,認為媚共、將香港被規劃,滿足部份官商勾結,甚或替大陸官員作腐敗勾當。

4. 港人的心理從無好好調較一下:港人習慣在極度擠迫中作息,同時喜歡那種極高密度的生活空間所帶來的效率及方便。效率、方便,引至平均居住尺數特別小、市區空氣質素差及整體社會要付出相當高的各種代價。

5. 只要在Demographia World Urban Areas 2013報告 http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf   17105頁就可以清楚看到 (A)差不多相同人口的大城市的建成區面積比較,及 (B)相同建成區面積的其他城市的人口比較,優劣立見。

6. 如天馬行空,建成區擴大一倍,從275擴大至550平方公里,香港仍比大部份國際級大城市小,人口密度仍佔高位。但做大個餅的過程,會提供極大量工作給所有港人,並可持續三數十年,另外大陸及東盟十國高速增長帶來的生意及機遇,可令下一兩代人脫貧及向上流動。可惜大部份港人滿足於人均一百呎之下,似乎無想過人均三、四百呎,更遑論外國土地資源豐富的(Land-rich)地區,三幾十萬美金便可以擁有有前後花園、草地的兩、三千呎獨立屋的優質生活。

Dear TK,
 
Attached herewith a file on "Global Restructuring" from Stephen Roach, Beijing's good friend & M.D., Chief Economist of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, who explains what actually happens when an economy changes structurally . He compares experiences of different countries and at the end he mentioned the influence on China and the Chinese economists.
 
Actually, during the past 8-10 years, HK 's experiencing such change. The downturn of the economy caused by such change and other international issues're out of HKSAR govt.'s control. Strong as the States, Germany & Japan, they all had and still have experience on their recessions. That's the point I think we need to have someone well-accepted to voice out and re-establish the Govt.'s image.
 
Furthermore, once the rate-hikes commence, the interest on the U.S.country-wide debts would be higher and higher and sooner than expected, will drag or halt its economy. So it's much better for China/HK to pick up asap before our export-oriented/led growth decelerate.
 
Looking forward to meet you again to offer different perspective in looking at & the follow-up on some macro- and micro- socionomic issues.
 
Regards,
 
George

Subject: Proposal RE: "9+2"

Dear TK,
 
I refer to our discussion yesterday morning in ur office and would like to summarise the major points for ur consideration, as follows:-
 
1.HKSAR Gov't have to accept there're necessary costs in order to properly commence/finish the "9+2" in order to achieve the major goals -
 
(a) successfully liaise, plan, formulate, coordinateand progress, complete all identifiable and workable projects within certain pre-determined criteria and time-frame, in priority
 
(b) to get the necessary cooperation among various regions/province/ministries in Beijing
 
(c) to get the full support of the whole SAR communities as well as neigboring communities, as the time resource is extremely limited and the extent extremely huge when comparing just to HKSAR.( approximates a EU but far backwards)
 
(d) Beijing would closely gauge HK's progress to rate our efficiency, flexibility as the overall results.
 
(e) how can we maintain free speech/democratic actions in a less confronting environment/situation. HK is still the biggest showcase for such action(s) which are our uniqueness, value and culture here ( just the same as many big international cities ) and shows the openness & ready to hear, discuss nature of Beijing central gov't.
 
(f) through the platform of CEPA & "9+2" would help the mainland in several areas such as
-creation of jobs for the ever-increasing umployment due to various reasons ;
-to tamper the problem of uneven income between rural and urbanized areas
-thru' better coordination/integration of proper work/services allocation, can lead higher disposable income thus vigorise consumer spending and also raise the % share of the service sector weighting in the total GDP.(more desired segregation of
sectors which contributes a more robust & sustainable economy)
 
(g)better counter-measures to combat inequality in benefits, opportunities and education, as well as
 
(h)the help to the SME which are considered the backbone of the economy and it's most resilient during the good & bad times.
 
 
2. Personally, I think the relationship with the :
 
- the increasingly "hot" D-Democrats, and their supporters, the general public,
 
- the confronting P-Patriotics and their supporters,
 
- the neigbouring communnities' officials and the general public there,
 
- Beijing High officials
 
- and our own SAR Government officials, should be much upgraded so that focused effort can produce the results Beijing wants.
 
 
3. I notice that quite a large no. of latest publications edited/compiled with genuine bold ideas, in the China.org.cn-Big 5 edition and many Central Govt's think-tanks, specialized bodies' publications have the necessary blue prints for the modernization/sustainable development of China .
 
All these blue prints may very much suitable to be our guidelines with specific time-frames and priorities.
Hope these may provide the platform for our projects as well as conveying the ideas to the resisting or confronting groups.
 
4. As the projects're of such a magnitude that we don't even dream of, extremely huge no. of talents, in tens of thousands or even millions from local( civil servants and private sectors), overseas, neigbouring areas, the existing intellectuals and even some opposing parties members should be included. Recognition and Respect plus sharing of responsibilties & accountabilities always work wonders.
 
Also the existing gov't staff must need to proportionately enlarge, thru' employment or outsourcing or engagement of specialized consultants.( bearing in mind the time frame, the enormous magnitude, quality and the nature of the projects)
 
5.For the kind of work to be accomplished, the total project costs and the subsequent revenues bring along, I think it warrants to be far more agressive in our budget proposal and sometimes, even deficit spending can be considered.
 
In order to get the buy-in of the Democrats/Patriotics/Neighouring regional gov't official/ the general public and even Beijing, special Commission/ Dept/ Semi-gov't bogies and so on together with Image-building and PR/HR/other specialised Consultants should be established to help release the burden from our officials.
 
6. Besides 5. a large no. of reknown mediators , who're well-received scholars, intellectuals, professionals with neutral mindsets can be invited to follow up on the buy-in of the various non-conforming parties/general public by explaining the imminent situation and urgency of the projects. Such that the responsible SAR official may have ample time in planning and dealing their (9+2) works
 
7. During this difficult time in securing necessary funding for many highly desirable infrastucture projects may slow down the overal peogress of the project. To help arragement of such not only solve their problem, yet promote HK's status as a leader and will not cause much harm to the existing mainland banking system.
 
8. Educate HK citizens to take jobs in the "9+2" for transfering of knowledge/experience that can promote our influence to those regions & their people to accept our culture, value, integrity anfd other merits.
 
When the more than 400M of the people pick up to standard and quality of living quite close to us, I think the economy will be somewhere near that of EU and thus sustained prosperity can be assured for many decades.
 
Pls let me have your comments and where & when I can be of help.
 
Regards,
 
George.
