Abstract
Since the development focus of Hong Kong shifted towards the western part of the territory in the late 1980s, the population of new towns in Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun has experienced rapid growth. According to the Territory Development Department's projections, Tuen Mun's present population of 490,000 will grow by 140,000 to 630,000 in ten years, while Yuen Long's population will grow more modestly from the present 167,000 to 280,000. Tin Shui Wai, which used to be a large patch of fish ponds, now houses 150,000 and will eventually accommodate 349,000. By 2001, the whole of Northwest New Territories is expected to be home to 1.35 million people.
自八十年代後期, 香港續步轉向西面發展, 令不少新市鎮, 如元朗, 天水圍及屯門的人口急速增長. 據拓展署的資料顯示, 屯門現時的490,000人口, 將於十年間增加140,000人而達至630,000人口.天水圍從前只是一大片魚塘, 現在已建有150,000個住宅單位, 並將繼續增長至共349,000個住宅單位.至2011年, 整個新界西北部預計可容納1,350,000人.
