After seven years of construction, Hong Kong’s latest cultural centre, M+ Museum is set to open its doors on November 12. With 33 galleries, three cinemas and 17,000 metres of exhibition space, M+ Museum is set to wow Hongkongers with its learning hub and rooftop garden with views of the Hong Kong skyline. Located at the West Kowloon Cultural District, entry will be free for Hong Kong residents for the first year. On a mission to identify and document lost hiking trails and new short-cuts across the city, the City2Trail is a platform for residents to identify routes together and convince the government departments to invest in protecting them. Residents simply need to email as many routes as you know to data@ transitjam.com by December 31. Each route will be judged on accessibility, connectivity, feasibility of development, community benefits, originality and communication. The prize will be to see the government recognise and designate your proposed routes as trails to be signposted, protected and reserved when any future development work is undertaken.
