Arts precincts are characterised by a large stretch of land that features several major institutions across art forms, alongside tenants and independent organisations under one cohesive umbrella or vision. Perhaps more strategically than coincidentally, they are often on the waterside and create pockets of public space where art, leisure, food, entertainment and cultural tourism ideally work in harmony.
Currently completed landmark institutions include the Xiqu Centre that opened in 2019, followed by M+ in 2021 and Hong Kong Palace Museum in 2022. The Lyric Theatre Complex under development will set a stage for local and international acts.
