Developing a city brand and developing a culture in the city are basically the same thing. Both are the primary agenda in constructing a city. To brand a city or develop a city’s culture is not only for economic or political propaganda in promotion of cultural tourism, but more importantly, it is to provide its citizens a platform for cohesion and identification. If the citizens do not identify themselves with their own city's brand and culture, then it will cause crisis to their sense of belonging. A city with no brand or culture is a city with no character. A city without a centrifugal force is a city in collapse. A city’s brand planning must be started with a study on its culture and its cultural vision. One of the priorities in the planning is to establish interactive communication channels with the citizens.

A wise development will understand the importance of cultural exchange, the importance of commentary, the importance of experiment, the importance of innovation, the importance of cooperation, the importance of education and at the same importance, understanding cultural investment is long-term. The purpose of investment is for local society, for our region and also for the global culture. For the current state, for the future society, a wise cultural development will know the major function of culture is to the urban economy, the development of a society and the political structure, at the same time, knowing the position of culture, the function of the interaction between driving the economic and political culture.

Moving forward into the 21st century, the Asia region including Hong Kong, owing to their recent rapid growth in society, economy, politics and technology, have indeed enough economic ability and confidence to independently observe and research on the current situation of worldwide cultural exchange activities and development. Furthermore, since compared with the first world, we have always been in a passive position, we can analyze detachedly the current state of worldwide cultural exchange, so that we can objectively and rationally assess the interaction of European culture with world culture. We can absolutely carry out a thorough assessment on the form and content of present cultural exchange of the “West”, and through this assessment to explore concepts of a “brand new” worldwide cultural exchange.

.On the hardware side of the city development, should we need a blueprint with a clear and long-term cultural field of vision? If we can achieve that, we will be able to develop the software side such as human resources development to operate in coordination with the hardware plans. With the blueprint, we will not be so short-sighted and speculated in a risky adventure. The reason is because we do not concern much about cultural institutions; therefore, it resulted in a lack of cultural analysis, so as to strategy research, planning tools and the talents in this aspect. When we are dealing with cultural development and construction work, we need to be confident enough to raise and discuss the problems related to the cultural management policy; hence we can reform the cultural management policy and should promote local education on different layers of aspects in order to build a strong cultural foundation with the interaction between the civil participants. We need to build some interexchange channels between the locals, global culturists and the strategies planners, to broaden our own cultural field of vision, and to have dialectics in a long-run.
