The area for public infrastructure and residential purposes will be the largest, occupying 23 and 22 per cent of the city respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will be followed in size by the ecological conservation areas, covering 18 per cent of the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tourism and entertainment industries will have a 13 per cent share of land use, divided between Cotai and the NAPE\/ZAPE area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Director for urban planning at the Land, Public Works and Transport Bureau (DSSOPT), Mak Tat Io, said future casinos will have to be located in that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: \u201cCasinos will be maintained in the tourism and entertainment areas, obviously with some flexibility, but most will be in these areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
