City Gallery Revamping Project

Managed by the department, the City Gallery completed its revamping project and fully

opened in May 2021. The project targeted to offer a refreshing and informative visiting
experience to the public. It involved furnishing G/F, 3/F and 4/F of the building to make the
interior environment more welcoming, to replace obsolete exhibits including those showing
coastline and skyline, milestones of planning and infrastructure developments, case studies

of sustainable development with interactive and fun elements, and to update and enrich
their contents. With a view to reaching out to more people and to enhancing inclusiveness,
facilities including indoor navigation mobile application, tactile exhibits, barrier-free reception
counter and inclusive bench were provided. Environmental protection elements, such as

solar film and water dispenser, as well as measures to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic
including applying intelligence sanitizing robot were also incorporated. To strengthen its
role as the collaborating platform for exchange of city planning ideas and to engage the
public through outreach programmes, City Gallery has extended its services by providing

online exhibitions, guided tours, webinars and workshops in addition to the on-site ones.
‘The City Gallery Revamping Project’ was awarded the Certificate of Merit of the Hong
Kong Institute of Planners Awards 2021.
