Non-linear XR edition for personal headsets
In 1976, Hong Kong created the Country Parks Ordinance. Protected 40% of the territory as wilderness. Manhattan has 14% parkland, Tokyo's wilderness is hours away. Hong Kong set clear boundaries while building a global financial center.
You can go from skyscrapers to untouched trails in minutes. Step from city streets into dense forest after one MTR stop. This environmental leadership story has never been told to global audiences.
The architects of this achievement are now retiring. Without spatial documentation, their practical knowledge disappears. Edition 02 publishes authored presence: storytellers speak in your space, trails encountered at human scale. Stories you enter, not watch.
