Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) refers to a construction whereby free-standing integrated modules (completed with finishes, fixtures and fittings) are manufactured in a prefabrication factory and then transported to site for installation in a building. With a view to facilitating wider use of MiC for private building developments in Hong Kong, the Buildings Department (BD) has set up a pre-acceptance mechanism for granting in-principle acceptance to MiC systems/components. MiC systems accepted by the BD have been shown in BD website for reference by the public and practitioners.

350 selected old photos of Hong Kong taken in the 1950s - 1970s showing the street views of Hong Kong, with district name tagged in the “Title” field of image file, some with street and building names.

This dataset consists of about 72 000 old survey sheets in 1:600 or 1:1 200 or 1:1 000 scale published from 1920 onwards in GeoTIFF format. These survey sheet images were scanned from paper maps and geo-referenced to the Hong Kong 1980 Grid coordinate system. The geo-referenced location is for general reference only and shall not be used for any work with precision.

The dataset consists of 21 old urban maps and town maps covering different urban areas and new towns. They were convenient street guides for general map users. The map sheets were conducted in the following years: (1) Hong Kong Island - 2001 (2) Hong Kong Island - 2006 (3) Hong Kong Island - 2011 (4) Kowloon East & West - 2001 (5) Kowloon East & West - 2005 (6) Kowloon East & West - 2009 (7) Kowloon East & West - 2013 (8) NT North & Tai Po - 2002 (9) NT North & Tai Po - 2007 (10) NT North & Tai Po - 2012 (11) Tsuen Wan, Kwai Tsing & Lantau Island - 2002 (12) Tsuen Wan, Kwai Tsing & Lantau Island - 2008 (13) Tuen Mun & Yuen Long - 1999 (14) Tuen Mun & Yuen Long - 2002 (15) Tuen Mun & Yuen Long - 2004 (16) Tuen Mun & Yuen Long - 2011 (17) Sai Kung & Tseung Kwan O - 2003 (18) Sai Kung & Tseung Kwan O - 2008 (19) Sha Tin & Ma On Shan - 2001 (20) Sha Tin & Ma On Shan - 2007 (21) Sha Tin & Ma On Shan - 2013

Planning Department (PlanD) completed the “Study on Existing Profile and Operation of Brownfield Sites in the New Territories – Feasibility Study” (“the Brownfield Study”) in November 2019. The major task was to capture a snapshot of comprehensive profile (including overall distribution, size, characteristics, economic uses, etc.) across brownfield sites in the New Territories (“NT”). Based on on-site surveys, the Brownfield Study identified a total of 1 414 hectares (ha) of brownfield sites with active operations, and some other 165 ha with no operation, in the New Territories. The multiple file formats are available for dataset download in API. The open data is the geographical distribution of brownfield sites according to the findings of the Brownfield Study. The geographical distribution of brownfield sites may not tally with the latest situation. General extent of brownfield sites, instead of boundaries of individual site, is shown in this website. All map information provided on this website are for general reference only but not for site identification.

The Invigorating Island South Office, Development Bureau has formulated under the consultancy study comprehensive proposals for pedestrian environment and traffic improvements as well as open space enhancements and development to bring vibrancy to the Wong Chuk Hang, Aberdeen waterfront and Ap Lei Chau North areas. The proposals are being taken forward progressively by minor works or in accordance with public works procedures in order of priority.

Public Facilities (excluding Public Open Space) (Available in GML)

Some areas within some private properties in Hong Kong are dedicated for public passage by an agreement made between the owner of the respective property and the Government. A deed of dedication is executed for this purpose. In addition, some of these dedicated areas may also be permitted for other uses as specified in the deed.

The Land Utilization in Hong Kong (LUHK) is a broad-brush presentation of distribution of land uses in Hong Kong, compiled using the updated satellite images, in-house survey information of the Planning Department, and other relevant information from various government departments (the dates on which the satellite images were taken and on which the information was collected are shown in the associated data description files). The LUHK raster grids have a spatial resolution of 10m. The area of land uses are approximated to the nearest square km. The data is not designed or intended for detailed analysis or calculation purposes.As definitions of some land use classes and methodology are updated from time to time, the figures this year may not be comparable directly to those provided in previous years. The datasets are available for download in API.
