Green and Active Transport
Creating More Sustainable Neighbourhoods by Integrating Better Transport and Land Use Planning
TTSS recommends introducing the concept of a 15-minute neighbourhood in the New Development Areas to enhance liveability. Additionally, it suggests introducing various types of green road designs in designated locations, giving priority to the needs of pedestrians, bicycles, electric mobility devices and green transport.
We consider it feasible to integrate better transport and land use planning in New Development Areas by introducing the concept of a 15-minute neighbourhood. In these neighbourhoods, priority should be given to active mobility and green transport, enabling residents to easily access their daily necessities in the vicinity through active and green transport options, thereby enhancing liveability.
To create a more favourable environment for active and green transport, we initially recommend introducing various types of green road designs at designated locations in New Development Areas, giving priority to the needs of pedestrians, bicycles, electric mobility devices and green transport. In line with the principle of integrating transport and land use planning, the Government will adopt different types of green road designs, including pedestrian priority streets and green transport corridors.
