This document outlines land leasing and development control in Hong Kong. Most land is leased from the government for terms of 50-999 years, with leases disposed of through auction, tender, or private treaty. Development is regulated by ordinances governing buildings, planning, streets, sanitation, and zoning, with applications reviewed and appeals processes available. Land use is controlled for commercial, industrial, residential, open space, and government/community purposes.
