State of Parks and Gardens in HK

If you think some of Hong Kong’s parks and gardens need an upgrade, you’re not alone. The Hong Kong Government’s Audit Commission released a report in March 2013 on the development and management of parks and gardens across the city, finding inadequacies in park services is widespread. It did, however, suggest that with the large reserves of open space in Hong Kong, and having the per capita quota for open space met, some of this land can be developed for other uses, such as to increase housing supply. http://www.aud.gov.hk/pdf_e/e60ch04sum.pdf
