Our world city credentials
Hong Kong is positioning itself as Asia's world city. Like other world cities, this is based on:
  • Hong Kong being an international city
  • Its role as a manager and co-ordinator of global economic activity
  • A core of world-class service providers and a highly productive workforce
  • Modern hard and soft infrastructure
  • Educational and other institutions focused on knowledge creation and enhancing the quality of life
  • Commitment to maintaining the rule of law, freedom of expression and association, the free flow of information, openness and diversity
  • Strong links with its hinterland, the mainland of China, one of the strongest and fastest growing economies in the world
Every world-class city has a personality - attributes that make it distinctive, memorable and instantly identifiable. These are reflected in Hong Kong's core values.
