It's called "Northern Metropolis," yet, for now, it's anything but.
Hong Kong is investing heavily in the development of the Northern Metropolis, a vast tech zone near the border with mainland China, aiming to transform the region into a hub for innovation and technology. The project, which spans 30,000 hectares, is expected to house up to 2.5 million people and create around 650,000 jobs by 2046.

The Northern Metropolis is designed to attract tech companies, research institutions, and talent from around the world, leveraging Hong Kong's strategic location and its status as a global financial center. Despite the ambitious plans, challenges such as land reclamation, infrastructure development, and environmental concerns remain significant hurdles to the project's success.
