Kai Tak Sports Park

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Asia Pacific

Under Construction · Sports · Integrated Sports Campus · Subtropical

A 28-hectare multi-venue sports campus on the former Kai Tak runway, with a 50,000-seat stadium whose retractable ETFE roof is engineered to withstand Category 10 typhoons — a design load rarely addressed at stadium scale. The campus uses an underground automated people mover linking venues to the MTR without surface vehicle crossings.

Innovation highlights

retractable ETFE roof engineered to withstand Category 10 typhoon loads
underground automated people mover linking venues without surface roads
brownfield redevelopment of former airport runway in dense urban context
district cooling system shared across all sports venues on campus
