Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines

This is a government document of planning criteria and guidelines for
determining the quantity, scale, location and site requirements of various
land uses and facilities. It is applied to planning studies, the preparation or
revision of town plans and development control. The document is
constantly under review to take account of changes in government
policies, demographic characteristics as well as social and economic
trends. Major tasks undertaken during the year included the formulation
and revision of planning standards and guidelines for community centres,
social welfare facilities, recreation and open space, industry, retail
facilities and parking and loading/unloading facilities.

To promote public awareness of planning and to facilitate the use of the
document by non-government bodies, it has been made available in
various libraries. The document is also available for sale to the public, on
a chapter-by-chapter basis.
