Kowloon Bay was one of Hong Kong's important industry hubs . The urban fabric has been developed with a priority for vehicular traffic. With the good market sense and first-mover initiatives of some private developers, high-grade office buildings and retail centres are emerging in Kowloon East. During the urban transformation process into a core business district, both pedestrian and traffic environment has to be enhanced.

We aim at creating a pedestrian environment at KBBA which is "walkable", "stayable" and "sittable" to enhance accessibility from Kowloon Bay MTR Station to the KBBA and towards the Kai Tak Development and waterfront. The Energizing Kowloon East Office commissioned a study in February 2013 to examine improvement required for the pedestrian and traffic environment in KBBA.

The Study Team has reviewed the existing pedestrian and traffic conditions in KBBA and analysed the impact due to the development in Kowloon East up to Year 2030. We carried out 3 stages of public engagement collecting views and ideas from the public.

We introduced various short to medium-term at-grade measures and introduced a comprehensive pedestrian linkage network as the medium to long term proposal.

The study was completed in August 2016. The findings of the study are summarized in the executive summary.
