屏風效應是指樓宇建築猶如天幕，阻礙自然風進出，這使城市內的空氣轉差、「不見天日」、悶熱難擋，影響周邊居民的生活環境、空氣質素、景觀及自然光，令相對內陸的地區的空氣流動減弱，氣溫升高，加劇地區性的空氣污染問題，令區內居民患呼吸道毛病的比例增加。

Hon. Alan LEONG (28-2-2007)A survey conducted by a green group found that (in 2008) a

mong the 138 private residential developments completed in the recent decade, 104 were classified as screen-like buildings. Moreover, all the nine forthcoming projects above railway stations include high-density screen-like buildings of 50 storeys or more. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) whether it has conducted studies over the past three years on the adverse impact caused by the layout of buildings on the air ventilation and environmental hygiene of the neighbouring areas; and

(b) whether it will adopt specific measures for districts with a high density of screen-like buildings to prevent the wall effect from worsening
