香港土地問題：供應或用途？

Traveling through the chaos of the New Territories always makes you wonder about our inefficient land uses.

So here is a simple review.

We made the 18,854ha which appears developed (more concrete than vegetation) pink.

We made the towns like Sha Tin, Yuen Long and others blue. This is about 6,680ha.

Next we used yellow to mark the 1,725ha which government is already planning to develop such as Hung Shui Kiu, Kwu Tung and Yuen Long South.

Done so leaves us with 10,000ha of land covered with chaotic villages and brownfield areas - land which is often abused for all kinds of trades.

This can only lead to one simple conclusion: We do not have a land supply problem, we have a land use problem.

每當走過一片片規劃混亂的新界土地時，我們不時疑惑到底我們是否有效地利用這些珍貴的土地資源。

因此在此作了一個簡單的調查。

我們從地圖上將一些已發展的區域劃作粉紅色，共有18 854 公頃。

我們又將新市鎮如沙田、元朗等劃作藍色，共6 680公頃。

然後，我們再將政府規劃的未來新發展區如洪水橋、古洞及元朗南等劃作黃色，共1 725 公頃。

完成後我們發現，已發展的區域當中有超過10 000公頃均是一些欠缺完善規劃的鄉村、棕地等，它們沒有妥善的道路、排污及其他基建。這些土地經常會被各種行業所濫用。

這種現象正正說明：我們面對的問題從來不是土地供應的問題，而是土地欠缺妥善的運用。
