Shapefile for 18 districts

Vivian Chan made this Freedom of Information request to Lands Department

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

Lands Department did not have the information requested.

To whom it may concern,

I am doing a project about population density and I would like to request the shapefile of Hong Kong, with boundaries showing all 18 districts. I will be using ArcGIS to produce a map, so I will need all the related files and the shapefile.

Yours sincerely,
Vivian Chan
