What are the Hong Kong government's development plans for Tai Po?
Tai Po has grown from a small market town of 25,000 people in 1974 into a new town with a population of about 282,000 on about 1,270,000 hectares of land. The new town is well developed with the major infrastructure in place.
The Pak Shek Kok Development includes the development of a Science Park and residential and recreation uses. The advance engineering infrastructure works for the development have been substantially completed to facilitate the inauguration of the initial phase of the Science Park. The State 1 parts of the remaining infrastructure works commenced in August for completion in end-2004 whereas the Stage 2 works are programmed to commence in late 2003 for completion in early 2007 to cope with the development program of the Science Park as well as the residential development.
