Tin Shui Wai

The development of Tin Shui Wai as Hong Kong's eighth new town began
in 1987. About 450 hectares of land were reclaimed from fishponds.

The initial development of 169 hectares of land in the southern part of the
reclaimed land (the Development Zone) has been substantially completed.
The Development Zone's well-integrated layout, with public and private
residential developments grouped around a Central Park, now provides
homes for about 135 000 people.

An engineering investigation study on the further development of Tin Shui
Wai was completed in March 1997. Site formation on the rest of the
reclaimed land to the north (the Reserve Zone) commenced in June 1997.
Upon full development, the population of Tin Shui Wai is expected to
reach 325 000 by the year 2003.
