Lantau Tomorrow Vision (Chinese: 明日大嶼願景), also known as the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands, is a postponed development project in Hong Kong proposed by two former Chief Executives of Hong Kong. Former Chief Executive Carrie Lam proposed in her 2018 policy address the creation of a third core business district by constructing artificial islands with a total area of about 1,700 hectares (4,200 acres) through massive land reclamation near Kau Yi Chau and Hei Ling Chau of the eastern waters of Lantau Island.[1] The project has been met with controversy and opposition due to environmental concerns and also its high cost of an estimated HK$580 billion (US$73.8 billion),[2] amounting to half of the city's fiscal reserves. In February 2024 the financial secretary said the project would be postponed after looking at its finances, but insisted it would not be cancelled.[citation needed]
