http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/english/environmentinhk/eia_planning/sea/ebook1_8.html

The study aims to develop a comprehensive territory-wide transportation strategy to meet the short and long-term transport needs of Hong Kong. SEA, as part of the study, intends to assess strategic environmental implications of transportation strategies being proposed during the CTS3 study.

In the SEA, air, noise and ecological implications were evaluated and a range of actions were recommended including integration of land use and transport planning to reduce the need for travel, more extensive rail networks, better co-ordination of different transport modes, pedestrianization and cycling etc.
