The Territorial Development Strategy (TDS) is the highest tier of planning in the hierarchy of town plans in Hong Kong. It provides a broad land use, transport and environmental framework for planning and development. It also serves as a basis for preparation of sub-regional plans and detailed district plans.

The last review of the TDS was completed in 1996. Taking into account the emergence of new factors having strategic planning implications, a new round of review, the Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy, commenced in 2000. The study is to assess Hong Kong's future development needs in a wider regional perspective and for a longer time horizon. The study comprises four stages with extensive public consultation conducted at each stage. The public consultation exercise for the first three stages were undertaken in 2001, 2002 and 2003-04 respectively. The study is now at stage four where a preferred development option and a development strategy are being formulated with a view to consulting the public again.
