Notes: From 2000, a new survey method by using remote sensing technology and a new classification of land uses has been adopted.  The results
of the survey provide a set of more detailed land uses, particularly in the rural non-built-up areas.  Hence, figures presented above are not
strictly comparable with those for years 1999 and before.
Figures are as at December of the year.
①Residential land developed by private developers except village houses, Home Ownership Scheme (HOS)/Private Sector Participation
Scheme (PSPS) and temporary housing areas.
②Include HOS/PSPS and temporary housing areas.
③Include temporary structures.
④Include open storage areas.
⑤Include parks, stadiums and playgrounds.
