Hong Kong authorities are considering a significant expansion of a digital technology hub within its Northern Metropolis project. The revised plan would double the size of the hub at Lau Fau Shan and permit the construction of towers up to approximately 250 meters high. This proposal has prompted environmental groups to voice concerns regarding potential dangers to migratory birds that utilize the area.
The plan, slated for discussion by the Yuen Long District Council's town planning committee, aims to increase the digital hub's footprint from 15 to 30 hectares. Environmentalists fear that the increased development and building heights could disrupt a vital flyway for avian species.
The proposed expansion raises environmental concerns about the impact on migratory bird populations and their established routes.
