The HK Edge Dialogues

Welcome to Episode 3 of Hong Kong Edge Dialogues, brought to you by Metropolis Edge. In this episode, we dive into the transformation of Hung Shui Kiu / Ha Tsuen (HSK/HT) from a residential area into a high-tech business hub and commercial gateway. We discuss the strategic significance of the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Rail Link, the development of a 36-hectare modern logistics cluster, and how the Government’s new "two-envelope" land disposal approach is changing the game for investors and developers. Join us as we analyze the infrastructure, policy shifts, and the "GoGlobal" functions that will define this core node of the Northern Metropolis
