Urbanization of Tseung Kwan

HONG KONG ■  Although recently constructed, buildings of the commuter town of Tseung Kwan of the New Territories must already be repaired through scaffolding. The Chinese administrative region of Hong Kong, which has 7 million people jammed into an area of less than 1,100 km², has one of the highest population densities in the world. This trade capital has an excellent public transport network structured by an express subway train which is very rapid and efficient. A symbol of hyperconsumption, the city also offers to its many tourists huge opportunities for inexpensive shopping (theoretically).
