Hong Kong Planning and Infrastructure Exhibition Gallery (Chinese: 香港規劃及基建展覽館) is a museum about infrastructure of Hong Kong located at Edinburgh Place in Central Hong Kong in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Planning and Infrastructure Exhibition Gallery, located on ground floor of the City Hall Annex, was set up in 2002 as a temporary exhibition gallery, pending the establishment of a full-fledged permanent exhibition gallery which will occupy the entire City Hall Annex Building. The expansion works are in progress and the permanent Gallery will be open in 2012.
To make way for the refurbishment and expansion works at the City Hall Annex, the temporary Gallery has been relocated to the ground floor of the Murray Road Multi-storey car park Building in mid-2009 to maintain continuous services to the public. The temporary Gallery showcases the planning proposals and infrastructure projects by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to enhance the quality of life and strengthen Hong Kong's status as Asia's world city. It comprises six main sections: Imprint, Hong Kong 2030, New Kai Tak, Transport & Logistics, Sustainable Development and Living Environment. Interactive features and devices give visitors the latest information on planning and infrastructure developments in Hong Kong.
Famous quotes containing the words planning, exhibition and/or gallery:
“Play for young children is not recreation activity,... It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity.... Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with children’s play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in “playing” chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
“Each morning the manager of this gallery substituted some new picture, distinguished by more brilliant or harmonious coloring, for the old upon the walls.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
