According to the report, the massive scale of the podium-style developments that have been built in recent years in the city have increasingly lost their functional relationship to the urban street grid, often resulting in the isolation of land uses and the separation of public space from existing neighborhoods. At the launch event, developers, government officials and community representatives shared their views on the Ten Principles and discussed how to make Hong Kong a more livable, walkable and sustainable city.
