Abstract
The rapid economic growth in China, Hong Kong and the Asian region is fuelling the need for investment in new air, land and sea transportation infrastructure projects. Hong Kong's geographic position and its deep-water access places even greater urgency on the upgrading of its present transport facilities. A port and airport development strategy conceived in the 1980s is currently being implemented by way of the Airport Core Programme (ACP). This is one of the world's largest completely integrated construction projects and is well underway. It involves the building of an airport as well as full rail and road access extending 35 km from the island of Lantau to the commercial heart of Hong Kong Island. This paper describes some of the economic fundamentals and the major components of the ACP project. Brief reference is also made to the project control framework, which involves the most senior officials in the Hong Kong Government.
