Dennis Lo, the president of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), is advocating for increased government funding to support the development of a new university town in the Northern Metropolis. Lo believes the current HK$10 billion loan scheme is insufficient and that Hong Kong universities must expand their scale and capacity to remain competitive on a global stage. He highlighted that institutional size is a factor in university rankings and that the Northern Metropolis offers a crucial opportunity for expansion, contrasting Hong Kong's current 'boutique hotel' model with larger mainland Chinese universities.
