Q What do you think of the decision to allow the Central reclamation to resume?

I feel it is outrageous that there are plans afoot to destroy even more of Hong Kong's magnificent harbour, but even more outrageous is the fact that none of the Legislative Council objected when discussions were taking place.

What does that tell you about the powers that be?

The harbour is one of our main tourist attractions - people flock up the Peak to see the view across to Kowloon.

When you consider that the original harbour stretched as far back as the tram tracks, surely there has been enough damage done (particularly considering there is now a glut of office and residential accommodation and there is no fundamental need to develop further)? A. M. Gould, Pokfulam

One of the problems I have never been able to understand in the 23 years I have lived in Macau, has been the lack of any real urban landscape planning in downtown Hong Kong and Kowloon.
