BUILDING A CULTURAL DISTRICT IN HONG KONG: FROM VISION TO REALITY BY Vennesa Chi Wei YUNG ABSTRACT The creation of a cultural district requires the synchronization of many moving parts and key players. This paper includes a literature review investigating published work on the incentives for cities to create cultural districts, the main elements that define a cultural district, as well as the key players and concepts its creation. Following the literature review is a research thesis on the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong, covering the origin, objectives, progress and more of this development. Cultural districts are on many cities’ radars and development plans in recent years. The West Kowloon Cultural District is one of the biggest of its kind in recent history, and certainly in Asia. The Hong Kong case was chosen based on its unique combination of challenges, opportunities, and support from the government, and this is timely as it is currently gaining incredible momentum. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author is indebted to the mentorship and friendship provided by her teachers at Good Hope School, from where she has met some of the greatest teachers in arts education in Hong Kong, including Ms. Corina Chen, Ms. Betty Fung, Mr. Dominic Lee, and the late Mr. Alan Lee; her mentors at the University of Virginia, especially Professors Bill Bennett and George Sampson; and the incredibly brilliant and patient minds at American University’s Arts Management program – Professors Ximena Varela, Sherburne Laughlin, and Michael Wilkerson.
