Northern Metropolis · Living in the North | Efforts needed to resolve jobs-housing imbalance

To meet the needs of Hong Kong's population and economic growth, the SAR government has undertaken extensive urban planning efforts. The incumbent Chief Executive, John Lee Ka-chiu, has identified in his first Policy Address the "Northern Metropolis" as a strategic development base for the future and a new engine to drive HK to new heights, with the goal of turning the area into an "international innovation and technology city" with jobs-housing balance. However, some districts in the north have not yet been able to solve the problems of jobs-housing imbalance and an overburdened transport system. According to the Census and Statistics Department's data for 2021, Yuen Long has a total population of 662,000, with only 87,000 employment opportunities. Such problems, so that residents in the New Territories North can live and work happily in their own district? Yuen Long resident Paul says 'I'm living like a robot' "I live in Yuen Long and I have to transfer three times a day to go to work in Tsing Yi, and it takes me two to three hours to commute between work and home. Paul, a 23-year-old resident of Yuen Long, is a recent graduate of civil engineering and has worked as an engineer in Tsing Yi since graduation. At 7 a.m., when people in HK Island and Kowloon are still in their sleep, the working people in the New Territories are already out of their houses to catch the buses and the subway. Every day, Paul has to take the MTR from Yuen Long to Mei Foo Station, then transfer from Mei Foo Station to Tsuen Wan Line to Kwai Fong Station, and then take a minibus from Kwai Fong Station to his office. Paul laughs at himself as he walks, "We are living like robots. When you get home after dinner, you just don't feel like doing anything. Every day is just repeating the previous one." Asked why he didn't work at a place closer to home, he said there were no jobs for him in Yuen Long. Paul said he had heard earlier that the government was planning to develop the northern part of the New Territories, and the engineering work required for the development would be suitable for him. "I hope that more local jobs can be created here in the future, so that people don't have to travel afar for work." Sheung Shui Village Chief Lam Chi-keung: Villagers just want to live and work in peace The village of Ying Pun in the rural area of Sheung Shui is located near the boundary between North District and Yuen Long District, and is part of the "Northern Metropolis" plan. Due to its rural location and lack of infrastructure development, the village has only been able to maintain a low-density development, and now the government is planning to resume part of the land for public use. He believes that development is a general trend and the villagers are happy to see new developments, but he hopes that the government will communicate more with the villagers in the planning process and handle issues such as rehousing and compensation properly. "For example, the housing problem should be solved first, and whether the villagers can be compensated in cash or in other ways, I think this is what the government needs to think about." New Territories North farmer Chu Kam-ming: Govt needs to resettle villagers after land acquisition At present, there are still some villagers in Ying Pun village who are engaged in farming. A few roads away from the village is the Tsiu Keng Agricultural Park, where they work hard day in and day out. Chu Kam-ming, a villager who was harvesting vegetables, said he migrated to Hong Kong from the Mainland 40 years ago and has been farming for more than 30 years since he started his career. With the change of the times, there are not many farmers left in HK today. Chu said that he has always insisted on farming because he wanted the public to be able to eat local fresh vegetables from the New Territories. Talking of the land resumption policy, Chu says that farmers will be affected in terms of farming and income. "The land does not belong to us farmers, it belongs to the owners, and the government will only compensate us for the seedlings. But without the land, what can we live on?" Chu hopes that the government will consider the livelihood of farmers in the area when planning the "Northern Metropolis", for example, by building agricultural parks in other places, so that farmers will be able to secure a livelihood.
