The Northern Metropolis is a key development strategy for Hong Kong, with the potential to offer a new perspective for "live, work and travel" for over 2.5 million residents. The strategy emphasizes a citizen-centric approach, with sustainability and connectivity with Shenzhen at its core. The Metropolis is forecasted to generate HK$ 700 to 750 billion Total Gross Value Added per annum to Hong Kong economy and propel the city’s continued economic growth. Biotech, fintech and re-industrialization should be the major economic sectors to facilitate the development of San Tin Technopole and Qianhai. Blended finance solutions will be a key enabler of development, with a collaborative partnership approach between Government and the private sector sharing the funding burden and accelerating the delivery of critical infrastructure including affordable housing. By leveraging Green, ESG and innovative Inclusive Community Fund, a truly unique delivery model for infrastructure within the GBA can be created.
