The Application of Planning Principles and Innovative Ideas

The exhibition was designed to give visitors an interactive, immersive and educational
experience through a variety of innovative, high-tech and user-friendly exhibits. In the “Building
a New Era for Hong Kong” zone in the multi-purpose hall on the 3rd floor, the exhibits presented
to visitors the three development directions of Hong Kong for meeting our present and future
social, environmental and economic needs and aspirations. These three directions were
enhancing liveability, strengthening economic competitiveness for embracing economic

opportunities and challenges, and creating capacity for sustainable growth. The exhibits also
introduced the conceptual spatial framework of the Two Metropolises of Hong Kong which put
forward the development of the Northern Metropolis as a metropolitan area ideal for living,
working and travelling with innovation and technology industries as its economic engine, and
the development of the third Central Business District in the Harbour Metropolis.
