The Competitiveness of Global Port-Cities: The Case of Hong Kong, China
This working paper offers an evaluation of the performance of the port of Hong Kong, an analysis of
the impact of the port on the territory and an assessment of policies in this field. It examines port
performance over the last decades and identifies the principal factors that have contributed to it. The effect
of the port on economic and environmental questions is studied and quantified where possible. The major
policies governing the port are assessed, along with policies governing transport and economic
development, the environment and spatial planning. Based on the report’s findings, recommendations are
proposed with a view to improving port performance and increasing the positive effects of the port of Hong
Kong.
