The population of Hong Kong is estimated at 7.50 million in 2020 It is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and has a population density of 6790.74 people per square kilometer.
Why ''Blocks'' ?
Concrete jungle - a city or urban area which has a high density of large, unattractive, modern buildings and is perceived as an unpleasant living environment. But that doesn't apply to everyone. I moved to Hong Kong few years ago and since day one I got obsessed by these giant public housing/apartment block building structures, their patterns, colours, shapes, architecture, how massively yet easy they blend in and coexist with each other in this city.
My attempt to capture the city feel, often very dystopian, moody and futuristic, at least that is how I felt.
Nicely done. With the population becoming so dense the only way to build is up, and up. From my visit there years ago I remember that square footage in living quarters was very limited. Thanks for sharing Davis.

Thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate ! I do agree, the only way is to build up, prices ain't going down, it is packed but at the same time infrastructure is well done

Thank you ! I personally think it's a good experience to live in HK, after returning home to Europe I can appreciate more each extra square meter and living space in general

You're most welcome. Sometimes we don't appreciate what we have until we experience other cultures, lands, etc. Have a fantastic day.
Hopefully good memories ! After my first visit, especially the block houses was the thing that was stuck in my mind for a while, glad I finally managed to put some footage together

It was a great visit. We took the cable car up to the buddha and you can see lots of these buildings as you go up.
