The Northern Metropolis (Chinese: 北部都會區) is a planning area in Hong Kong, located in northern New Territories as part of North and Yuen Long Districts. It is envisioned as an integrated living and economic region, focused on integrating Hong Kong more closely with the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macau Greater Bay Area, particularly with Shenzhen. The centrepiece of the new development is planned to be the San Tin Technopole, an innovation and technology centre which will include the Hong Kong–Shenzhen Innovation & Technology Park (HSITP) located on the Lok Ma Chau Loop; and an innovation and technology park in San Tin. In March 2023, Regina Ip said that the Northern Metropolis project should be prioritized over Lantau Tomorrow Vision; John Lee then responded by saying both projects would move ahead simultaneously without the need to prioritize one over the other. In April 2023, a survey showed that only 6% of Hongkongers supported Lee's idea to build both simultaneously. In July 2024, it was revealed that 80% of submissions from the public opposed the plan to build the Technopole (San Tin) due to construction on wetlands. In 2025, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said the Northern Metropolis should refer to Xiong'an New Area for planning, construction and attracting industrial investment.
