Urban Fringe Land Use Transitions in Hong Kong: From New Towns to New Development Areas	2017-12-31		.txt	text/plain	3447	160	49	It is concluded that while housing, infrastructure and facility were the main elements in NTs, employment, vibrancy and environment were suggested to be the new compulsory elements in NDAs integrated to the traditional planning concepts. It is suggested to ensure the development of NDA, the proposed development plan should be persuasive to provide the optimal land use distribution as a trade-off among the profits of developers, the interests of local villager, government concern and the provision of land for future residents. Firstly, smaller scope in less than one fourth of the existing new towns such as Tuen Mun and Sha Tin; secondly, land supply for various uses such as housing, employment, high value-added and non-polluting industries; and thirdly, provision of quality living space and convenience to both residents and users. New town development is the dominant land supply approach in the urban fringe of Hong Kong in 20 th century, which contributed considerably to economic development and the housing, infrastructure and facilities provision for the increased population.	./cache/cord-295160-q6ninzd2.txt	./txt/cord-295160-q6ninzd2.txt
