Future Projects Of The MTR
Several future projects on the MTR have been put forward by the MTR Corporation to the Hong Kong Government, with some already under construction.
With the rail merger with the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation in 2007, the combined network increased to 211.6 km. Committed and future railway projects will increase the network to over 270 km by 2019 while postponed projects may further increase it to over 300 km. Some other long term railway development possibilities should be further investigated if planning parameters change significantly.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or projects:
“Plato—who may have understood better what forms the mind of man than do some of our contemporaries who want their children exposed only to “real” people and everyday events—knew what intellectual experience made for true humanity. He suggested that the future citizens of his ideal republic begin their literary education with the telling of myths, rather than with mere facts or so-called rational teachings.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
