Background:
The government announced ten major infrastructure projects in order to boost the economy after the SARS epidemic. It became the major policy of Tsang’s administration.
Details:
The projects went underway. As of 2016 most of them are still under construction, while other are still at the planning and consultation stage.
Consequences:
The huge cost, over-expenditure and the slow progress of the projects led to discontent towards the government. This paved the way for more political disputes and protests against the projects.
