Abstract: Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge (HZMB) is believed to be an infrastructure wonder. It is the longest sea bridge in the world which connects Hong Kong with Macau and mainland China. The bridge is seen as an omen of economic boom in the Pearl River Delta, but it brings its own environmental and other challenges to the area also. The congestion in the area is supposed to get worse and so is the air pollution in the city. The big question for local Hong Kong residents is whether the Bridge is worth the cost that has been paid for it. The case has the following objectives: • To provide a context in which the student will look at the political symbolism and economic benefits of large infrastructure projects • To illustrate that, in order to get some kind of economic benefit, the problems that may emerge both related to environment and people • To provide a comprehensive insight into the cost benefit analysis of an infrastructure project.
