Foster's bureau project was to create the largest floor in the world, under which a theater, convention center and other cultural and entertainment facilities were to be located.
A comfortable microclimate was to be created under this “roof”, which would make West Kowloon especially attractive to visitors. In addition, there are very few parks in Hong Kong, and a lot of green space was to appear on the 40 hectares of the new area.
But now, after the development of the project for several years - since 1999, it turned out that the people of Hong Kong do not support him at all. At the same time, not only the architectural quality is questioned, but also the commercial viability of the project (the latter, for obvious reasons, is of particular concern to developers).
