Hong Kong is often cited as a city with the highest density of high-rise buildings and population. Nevertheless, more skyscrapers are being built to meet economic demands. Various land reclamation projects along the city's coastline have given way to gigantic mega-structures, further shrinking our harbor area. Old buildings are demolished without consideration for urban conservation or regeneration. Despite some buildings having low or zero occupancy rates, developers continue to satisfy their insatiable market game desires as property values for residential and commercial properties continue to rise. Meanwhile, housing remains a primary concern for citizens – owning a home is the highest aspiration for many who live in densely packed spaces without privacy, and a housing mortgage becomes a lifelong obligation.
