The concept of embracing urban-rural integration has been adopted in the planning of San Tin Technopole. The surrounding villages in San Tin will benefit from the comprehensively planned GIC facilities and improved infrastructure services including transport connectivity brought about by the project, while the cultural heritage resources of the villages will add cultural diversity to San Tin Technopole. Design harmony between the I&T Park and proposed Sam Po Shue Wetland Conservation Park will also be assured through sensible built form, ecologically-sensitive landscape treatment along the edge of the wetland, and preservation of birds’ flight corridors.
