The Making of Hong Kong: Planning, History and Environment (Paperback)

Autor Barrie Shelton, Justyna Karakiewicz, Thomas Kvan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2014

This book investigates what the history of Hong Kong s urban development has to teach other cities as they face environmental challenges, social and demographic change and the need for new models of dense urbanism.

The authors describe how the high-rise intensity of Hong Kong came about; how the forest of towers are in fact vertical culs de sac; and how the city might become truly volumetric with mixed activities through multiple levels and 3D movement networks incorporating town cubes rather than town squares.
