West Kowloon Cultural District

After years of continuous consultation and planning, the Town Planning Board announced the development blueprint of the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) in 2013, officially signifying the commencement of the construction stage of WKCD. Despite facing financial pressure, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA) held a design competition in 2012 for M+ (scheduled to open in 2017), appointed Mainland Chinese academic Pi Li as Senior Curator for Chinese contemporary art, and began their acquisition process.
