Meeting with Government Officials – Planning Department
Ms. Li Chi Miu, Phyllis, JP, Deputy Director of Planning / Territorial, and Miss Lau Bo Yee, Winnie, Chief Town Planner / Strategic Planning shared their vision on the topic of Hong Kong 2030+ and exchange views and opinions regarding the development of smart city and smart mobility issues with SCC's two Co-Chairs of Steering Committee Dr. Hon Elizabeth Quat and Dr. Winnie Tang, Convener Mr. Eric Yeung, and other 20 SCC members in the meeting.
We also submitted our interim report on smart city development to the Planning Department. The report was a result of our five-week consultation around last August that public views, industry opinions and expert advice on the topic were collected.
The report covers various areas, including spatial-data, energy management and green technologies, FinTech innovations, open data, innovation and entrepreneurship, smart government and smart economy, smart living environment, electronic identities (eID), electronic health records (eHR), cyber security and smart mobility.
The guiding principle of the whole report is people oriented through our advocacy of Vision Zero being the long-term goal for smart city development. Swedish Parliament introduced the concept of Vision Zero in 1997 seeking to secure public participation in reducing fatalities and serious injuries in city streets. We believe that Vision Zero is not only applicable to transportation, it is also an ultimate goal for our smart city strategy.
To showcase how smart city initiatives can really improve our lives, we suggest 10 public-private partnership (PPP) projects on smart environment (eg. plastic recycling and refuse collection, lighting and parking, etc.) smart living (eg. sensor network for health monitoring, the use of bus stop and phone booth to perfect Wifi coverage, etc.), smart mobility (real time traffic monitoring while protecting privacy) and smart people (how to grow talents) to be implemented as soon as possible.
We hope that our views and initiatives can inspire the Planning Department's "Hong Kong 2030+: Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030" which was launched last October to collect views from the public on the updated territorial development strategy for Hong Kong. The project involves a strategic plan to guide planning, land and infrastructure development and shape the built environment of Hong Kong beyond 2030.
