Building West Kowloon:Between Infrastructure and Culture

香港西九龙如今以其文化区而闻名,香港故宫文化博物馆、M+和戏曲中心等是千禧年来流行的,以标志性建筑为文化引领来驱动的超大城市项目的代表。文章从整体上详细阐述了利用填海造地实现超大城市项目的发展谱系。自2010年以来,该地区因文化场馆的落成而广为人知,然而它最初是以基础设施为开发导向,来确保特别行政区经济繁荣的项目。文章将20世纪90年代以来西九龙不同地块的发展联系起来,追溯这一项目从基础设施到旅游文化,再到以公共利益为文化载体的演变过程。

Hong Kong's West Kowloon is most known for its Cultural District today,with the Hong Kong Palace Museum,M+,and the Xiqu Centre representative of the kind of cultureled urban mega projects pivoted by iconic architectures that became au courant since the 2000s. The following piece unpacks the genealogy of the urban megaproject realized on reclaimed land as a whole.It shows that despite the cultural venues realized since the 2010s and have made the area known,the development began as an infrastructural-oriented develo pment that was deployed to ensure the Special Administrative Region's economic prosperity.By putting into relationship the different parts of West Kowloon developed over the two decades since the 1990s,the piece traces the megaproject as an evolving one from infrastructure to culture for tourism to culture for public good.
