Underground Hong Kong Expansion"Hong Kong's Civil Engineering and Development Department is currently undertaking the Enhanced Use of Underground Space in Hong Kong initiative, which will encourage cavern development beneath the city. City engineers will examine which rocky areas would be suitable for construction, and if it proves feasible, less attractive necessities like the city's sewage treatment plants, fuel storage depots, and refuse transfer stations could eventually be moved underground, and parking garages, sports venues, and a civic center could follow. Presumably, the newly cleared land could be used to create more precious apartment space, or for more attractive public spaces."
