Hong Kong authorities have shelved a controversial proposal to build a HK$700 million (US$90 million) exhibition hall at a prime waterfront site to showcase major development projects, including the Northern Metropolis.
The construction of the gallery on the Wan Chai North waterfront was announced in the 2023 policy address, and the budget was included in the government’s planned HK$30 billion financial application for the first-stage of the city’s innovation hub, known as the San Tin Technopole in the metropolis project.
