On Monday s Backchat, we learn more about plans to establish a major technology hub as part of the Northern Metropolis development.
Aspiring to become "Hong Kong s Silicon Valley", the 627 hectare San Tin Technopole, as it s called, could create at least 165,000 innovation and technology jobs on land the size of 17 Science Parks.
The Development Bureau has said that besides public tendering, plots could be offered by means such as restricted tendering or direct land grants.
Meanwhile, green groups have expressed concerns about the possible environmental impact of development in the area.
How much of an impact would the new centre have in boosting R&D capabilities? Would relaxed tendering rules encourage more tech companies to apply?

On Monday s Backchat, we re talking about property management fees and owners rights.
The Consumer Council has called for greater transparency from residential developers, following a two-year study prompted by hundreds of complaints over the past 11 years, mainly about charges and service quality.
The council found that homeowners spend an average of 7.4 percent of their household income on management fees.
It also reported that at 75 percent of the developments it studied, the management companies had links to developers, warning of potential conflicts of interest. In most cases, flat owners didn t understand how management shares were allocated, and many were unwilling to be involved in the running of their buildings through attending meetings.
