Infrastructure construction given boost in Bay Area

Construction of large infrastructural projects linking major cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has been stepped up after the central government unveiled a development plan for the area.

The Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, released on Feb 18, guides the current and future cooperation and development of the area to make it an international first-class bay area and a world-class city cluster.

It has inspired the involved regions to accelerate infrastructure construction for better connectivity among the three areas, with focus on expressways, bridges and airports expansion, according to the statement from a symposium where authorities and experts got together to discuss the implementation on Thursday.
