The Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands (KYCAI) will provide land to develop a core area of a new generation with a view to increasing public and private housing supply, while at the same time further enhancing Hong Kong's economic competitiveness through the development of a third Central Business District (CBD3).
The proposed strategic transport infrastructure for supporting the artificial islands will significantly enhance the connection between the Harbour Metropolis and the Northern Metropolis, reinforce Lantau's edge as “Double Gateway” to the world and other Greater Bay Area (GBA) cities, and further refine Hong Kong's overall transportation network.
Situated not far from the existing urban area, the KYCAI can offer decanting spaces to support the chain flows arising from the redevelopment of old urban districts of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
