[路人甲]

香港因為歷史、政治及環境的因素，僅百分之23.7的土地得到發展，更甚是僅百分之6.8土地用作居住用途。作為全球人口密度最高的城市，平均每平方公里的土地住了六千四百人。德國攝影師以「建築的密度」(Architecture of Density)為題，用相機紀錄香港這種擠迫得令人窒息的美麗。















Hong Kong's High-Density Residential Apartments
Because of historical, political, and geographical reasons, only 23.7% of Hong Kong’s land is developed out of which only 6.8% land is used for housing. No wonder Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places on the planet, with more than 6,400 people packed into every square kilometre.
Many of the city’s 7 million residents live in high rise apartments that towers Hong Kong’s brilliant skyline. There are a total of 6588 high-rise buildings in all of Hong Kong, far surpassing New York’s 5818 buildings, making Hong Kong a true skyscraper city.
Living conditions, however, are a lot to be desired for with people living like dogs in cages. In order to capture this maddeningly dense and repetitive shoe-box type claustrophobic residential structure, German photographer Michael Wolf has produced a beautiful series called "Architecture of Density."
