June 2026 | Hong Kong Five-Year Plan
Hong Kong’s weak policy research capacity reflects a historical legacy: colonial governance did not require autonomous long-term planning, while the post-1997 period failed to build a sustainable policy research ecosystem. In the new stage of “One Country, Two Systems” and national planning alignment, Hong Kong must treat local policy research capacity as essential infrastructure by expanding public funding, opening commissioned research channels, and developing a stronger talent pipeline for policy researchers.

May 2026 | Hong Kong Five-Year Plan
Hong Kong is preparing its first “Five-Year Plan”, but the real test is not how many views are collected. It is whether Hong Kong can turn public demands into evidence-based, prioritised, and implementable long-term policy judgments. We argue that effective planning requires a stronger policy research ecosystem supported by government, universities, and independent think tanks, so that Hong Kong can better absorb evidence, refine policy judgment, and coordinate long-term strategies across departments.

May 2026 | Northern Metropolis
The Northern Metropolis should not be treated merely as a land and housing supply project, but as a new platform for Hong Kong’s next stage of settlement, employment, innovation, and talent development. We recommend shifting public housing from “rental” to “ownership”, expanding the university town, and piloting reforms in Hung Shui Kiu and Ngau Tam Mei to prevent the Northern Metropolis from becoming another dormitory town and to build a sustainable mechanism for attracting high-quality population inflows.
