各位要注意了⚠️
立法會三讀通過有關僱員補償的修訂條例草案,擴大保障範圍至涵蓋僱員在「極端情況」下,上下班途中遭遇意外受傷或死亡,都可獲得補償⋯⋯ 政府希望能於今年7月正式生效,以便就風季作好準備。

【大嶼填海 為誰而建】
【漠視民意 事倍功半】
<對「明日大嶼」計劃之聲明>
(Please scroll down for English Version)
特首林鄭月娥在剛推出的2018年施政報告中,提出「明日大嶼」計劃,目標在東大嶼填海1700公頃,建造多個人工島。作為建築、測量、都市規劃及園境界別的選委代表,我們對推出的目的、規模、程序及模式均有所保留:
【供過於求,為誰而建】
根據政府統計處推算,香港人口於2043年達至高峰,比現在增長88萬,之後便會回落。但未計現正進行的土地房屋發展和現有閒置的房屋資源,東大嶼填海後便可供110萬人居住,為何要提供過剩的供應?
如此龐大計劃,卻沒有交代規劃願景及土地分布等重要考慮,亦沒有交代填海選址及規模的理據。特首亦明言,此計劃是要「大嶼山會成為通往世界和連接其他大灣區城市的『雙門戶』」,這不禁令人擔心,新造的土地未必能聚焦解決香港的住屋問題。
【漠視民意,無視更佳選項】
土地大辯論剛結束並正進行歸納,眾多專業團體和市民提出了大量寶貴及可行的意見,例如:棕地、軍事用地、私人遊樂場地契約用地、閒置政府地、近岸填海等選項。可惜,在土地專責小組報告未出爐前,特首突然急於推出如此大規模的填海計劃,無視整個土地諮詢,視民意如無物。而且比起大規模填海,這些選項成本較低、技術要求較低、對環境影響也較小,大規模填海是捨易取難,未有充分考慮專業意見。
【不符成本效益】
當提及填海的開支,特首輕描淡寫地說「四五千億走唔甩」。但不少工程專家認為,若計算連接的道路和鐵路,加上近年基建超支的趨勢,保守估計亦要一萬億,大約是香港外匯儲備的一半。若工程期間遇到不可預期的情況,如早前港珠澳大橋人工島移位之類,開支更會進一步飆升。當然,一萬億是否合乎成本效益,要看有否其他可達至同樣目的,但成本較低的選項。而在土地供應問題上,明顯有不少成本低得多的選擇,如收回粉嶺高爾夫球場、收回棕地等。
【合理分配,按步推展】
土地和房屋問題可分短、中、長三階段處理,因而直接影響儲備的分配。在填海的開支上,若單項投放一萬億而忽略了短中期房屋措施的資金投入,恐怕顧此失彼,未能達到成果效益的社會平衡,恐陷頭重腳輕寸步難行的困境。
【天人共存,敬畏自然】
超強颱風山竹吹襲香港,市面一片狼藉,情景還歷歷在目。當大眾開始感受到全球暖化所帶來的天然災害,大規模填海是反其道而行,因其耗能大、碳排放極高,對環境影響也是不可逆轉的。雖然特首說「氣象風險可管理」,但大自然的力量並不是人類可以匹敵的。加上如此大規模的填海,需要運用大量海砂,對填海的海域和海砂的出產地造成嚴重生態災難。其實造地應以順應大自然的方式,並考慮以人居、環境互相配合的新式設計,而非因循上世紀「新市鎮」的發展模式。就算填海是不可避免,亦可以推進式堤岸及分散式堆填等方法,在增加土地的同時產生宜居及保育沿岸生態系統,相對大規模的填海工程更能抵禦氣候變化的環境改變。
【總結】
我們作為建築師、測量師、規劃師、園境師,一向關心香港的土地和房屋問題,亦明白到這些問題的急切性。但「明日大嶼」計劃不但不能解決問題,更會引發很多不能逆轉的影響。
在過去五個月,無論官方的專家小組,或者民間研究組織,在土地諮詢過程中提出了很多優秀的方案。所以,我們呼籲林鄭月娥特首,為香港福祉,為了我們的下一代,暫停「明日大嶼」計劃,重新找出一個有利香港未來的土地發展方案,讓市民共同參與,為未來重燃希望。

【Lantau Tomorrow - Who is it for ?】
In the 2018 Policy Address, Chief Executive Mrs. Carrie Lam announced the “Lantau Tomorrow Vision” which targets to construct artificial islands with a total area of about 1700 hectares through massive land reclamation. As Election Committee members of the Architectural, Surveying, Planning and Landscape Subsector, we have reservations on the objective, scale and procedures of the proposal:
【Oversupply of land, who is it for ?】
According to the projection of the Census and Statistics Department, population of Hong Kong will reach its peak at 2043 which means there will be an increase of 880,000 people compared to the current population. Population will then decrease gradually. If we disregard the current land and housing development and vacant residential units, the proposed artificial islands alone can accommodate 1,100,000 people. Why do we have to create more supply than demand?
Important information like planning visions and land use plan was not announced, justification of reclamation scale and site selection was also absent. This is unusual and far from satisfaction for such a massive development proposal. The CE claimed that the proposal is for “making Lantau a “Double Gateway” to the world and other Greater Bay Area cities.” This makes people speculate whether the land created will be for solving housing problem in Hong Kong?
【Public Opinion Ignored】
The public consultation on land supply has just completed and the Task Force on Land Supply has not concluded the public opinions. During the consultation process, a lot of ideas were discussed and submitted. The feasible land supply options include: brownfield sites, military sites, sites under private recreational leases, vacant government land and near-shore reclamation. Surprisingly, the CE announced the massive reclamation proposal before the report of the Land Supply Taskforce, without paying respect to the consultation and all public opinions collected. Moreover, comparing to massive reclamation, the options raised in the consultation process cost less, face less technical difficulties and have less impact to the environment. Professional knowledge is apparently not thoroughly considered in the proposal.
【Not Cost Efficient】
The CE mentioned the cost of reclamation will be “roughly 4-5 hundred billions”. However, engineering experts estimated that, including all the connecting roads and railways with consideration of recent trend of infrastructure over budget, the cost of constructing the artificial islands will be at least a thousand billions ---- this will be equivalent to half of Hong Kong’s foreign currency reserve. If unforeseen conditions were encountered during construction, such as drifting of artificial island in the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge construction, the cost will be further soared. When we assess whether a project is cost efficient, we will try to see whether there is any lower cost alternatives that can achieve the same objective. The one-thousand-billion artificial islands are obviously not cost efficient as there are other options that cost a lot less such as developing the Fanling golf course and developing brownfield sites in the N.T.
【Balanced Resources Allocation】
Land and housing problems need to be solved in 3 stages: short-term, medium-term and long-term. Resources have to be allocated appropriately to all stages in order to have a coherent result. If a thousand billions were invested in a single long-term project, the resources for short-term and medium-term solutions will inevitably be limited. Such resource imbalance cannot create the desired social return.
【Living with Natural Harmony】
Our memory is fresh with the destruction of Typhoon Mangkhut which we experience the consequence of global warming. Massive reclamation is a bad response to climate change. It will spend massive energy, vast amount of carbon emission and it will bring irreversible impact to the ecosystem. Although our CE claimed that “climate risks can be mitigated”, natural force is nothing human being can be compared. In addition, this scale of massive reclamation will need incredible amount of marine sand. It will bring forth ecological disaster to the reclamation area as well as the marine sand mining area. For sustainable development, land supply shall adopt methods that are harmonious with the environment and design that balance between human habitat and nature. Just following the “New Town Development” mode that was used a century ago is not going to be a good solution. Even reclamation is inevitable, progressive reclamation along the coast shall be considered first which is more friendly to the marine ecology and less impactful to climate change.
【Conclusion】
As Architects, Surveyors, Planners and Landscape Architects, we are deeply concerned with the land and housing problems in Hong Kong. We also understand this is an urgent issue that we have to face and tackle immediately. However, we doubt whether the “Lantau Tomorrow Vision” can solve the problem, indeed, we worry that it will even bring us irreversible impacts.
In the past 5 months during the public land consultation, the official land task force and many civil research groups have proposed many feasible solutions for land supply. We urge the CE, for the sake of sustainable development in Hong Kong and for our generations to come, suspend the “Lantau Tomorrow Vision” proposal. Let’s work together with the people for a better Hong Kong and bring hopes to our future.

颱風襲港的情景 在 半宅職薯 Facebook 的最佳貼文
香港早前受颱風山竹吹襲,令大家最難忘的相信就是一眾打工仔暴風過後趕返工的情景:爬樹枝、澗水行、等幾個小時車的場面仍歷歷在目。如果想避免風暴過後狼狽返工,希望舒舒服服在家home office而老闆又不「詐型」,半宅職薯有以下貼士和大家分享:
*風暴前一日*
.
1.【準備home office工作】
在風暴前一日,先準備好可以帶回家做的工作,令自己萬一不能返工,也不致令老闆以為自己遊手好閑沒事可做。
.
2.【打探其他同事手上的工作】
老闆的事,就是你的事。風暴過後未必每一位同事都必須上班,但手頭有緊急工作的同事卻一定要出現。風暴前先打探其他同事手上面有沒有緊急工作,到風暴過後可充當老闆的advisor,讓他知道各人的工作進度,以決定誰人必須上班,誰人無須上班。
.
3.【準備應急聯絡電話號碼】
放工前先記低公司的同事、工作夥伴、甚至大廈管理處、緊急維修公司的電話。風暴過後即使不能返回office,也可以留家中幫助老闆協調聯絡其他人辦事。
.
*風暴過後*
.
1.【講先一步,理想達到】
在風暴即將完結的時候,比其他同事早一步打電話給老闆上司,報告自己手上面沒有緊急工作,然後請示老闆可不可以home office,在家完成早幾日帶了回家的工作。
.
2.【通知老闆各人手頭工作】
在老闆未發司號令強制所有人上班的時候,先向老闆滙報各同事手上面的工作,讓老闆可以按輕重緩急調配人手;也可順帶提醒老闆各人的居住地點及交通狀況,好讓老闆可以更易判斷誰人必須上班,誰人可以home office。當然,大前提是你手上沒有非做不可的緊急工作啦!
.
3.【幫助老闆遙控指揮】
要處理善後工作,老闆最需要的就是一張聯絡清單。這時候,你一早準備好的聯絡清單便可以大派用場。你可以毛遂自薦,充當老闆的聯絡人,協助統籌各人的工作。需知道統籌工作需要在寧靜的環境盡快進行,這時候你便可以「打蛇隨棍上」,向老闆請示你今天可否留家專責打電話和統籌,相信老闆亦會大方的答應。
