Introduction
2
Following the rapid
development in major cities in the Mainland and
neighbouring
regions, some citizens have expressed
their concerns
about Hong Kong losing its edge and its international status to other places.
Therefore, ‘competitiveness’ has been adopted as the theme of the Budget of this financial year. The Budget has also set out proposals on bolstering Hong Kong’s position as an international hub, the promotion of industries, the keys and limits to development, and fiscal sustainability. To enhance Hong Kong’s position as an international hub, the Budget has put forth the idea of building ‘a liveable city’. Through continued investment in environmental infrastructure, improvement of the quality of air and sea water, and better management of solid waste, it is hoped that Hong Kong could provide better quality of life for its citizens and attract talents from abroad. The initiatives introduced in the Budget are aimed at maintaining Hong Kong’s competitiveness. However, implementation issues such as investment of resources, site selection for facilities and impact on stakeholders are bound to arouse controversies.Slide3
It is opined that Hong Kong may lose its international status to other places. Do you agree with this claim? Why or why not?
The Budget makes proposals on improving the quality of air and sea water.
Should these suggestions be
regarded as top
priorities for promoting ‘a
liveable
city’ for all? Why or why not?
For effective enhancement of Hong Kong’s competitiveness, apart from the idea of ‘a
liveable city’, what other feasible recommendations could you
make?3Questions for EnquirySlide4
