The document discusses plans to develop new towns in the Northeast New Territories of Hong Kong to accommodate population growth. The key points are: 1) The plans aim to generate employment close to the new development areas to avoid residents having long commutes and suffering from "new town blues". 2) Large areas of land will be reserved for job creation and a "knowledge belt" will extend innovation and education parks to the new towns. 3) The new towns will provide over 60,000 homes and 40,000 jobs while preserving nature and integrating urban and rural areas. Public transportation will be prioritized to reduce car usage.
