By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Property tycoon Gordon Wu has called for the revival of large-scale land reclamation projects off Lantau Island, arguing that Hong Kong's development is being hindered by a lack of urban land.

Wu emphasized that the government must first secure land ownership and develop transportation infrastructure before the private sector can invest in such mega-developments. AI
