This request has been withdrawn by the person who made it. There may be an explanation in the correspondence below.

Dear Planning Department,

I am a research assistant in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Referring to another request on similar data, https://accessinfo.hk/en/request/request... , I would like to request for the scanned copy of the Land Utilization from 2001-2017, in GeoTiff format. It would be better if the raster file for the more recent years, say 2016-17, are available.

In addition, I would like to make another request for the Boundaries of Tertiary Planning Units & Street Blocks / Village Clusters, used in the Population Census in 2001 & 2006. The format should be similar to the boundaries in 2016, publicly available on https://data.gov.hk/en-data/dataset/hk-p....

Yours faithfully,
Wallace Sha

Dear Planning Department,

This is to inform you that I have accidentally make the same request twice (file ref 28/21 and 29/21) (with signatures Wallace Sha and Sha Yu Hin), so 28/21 could be withdrawn.

Yours faithfully,
Wallace Sha
