It is acknowledged that pedestrianization is an effective measure to improve the pedestrian environment in the existing congested urban area. Apart from positive benefits, there may be inconvenience caused to certain sectors of the public and balancing of trade-offs may be required. The application of pedestrianization would be tested in the Concept Plans where appropriate. The opportunities for urbanrenewal and area enhancement, as well as various pedestrian design measures, would also be explored in the Concept Plans.
