LIVING CLOSE, LIVING WELL? URBAN PROXIMITY, HOUSING, AND PUBLIC SPACE IN HONG KONG AND BEYOND

In its recently articulated goals, UN-Habitat emphasizes housing, land, and services, underscoring the global shortage of decent, affordable housing and adequate public facilities. Against this backdrop, this talk examines Hong Kong—a city defined by extreme density, mixed land uses, and vertical urban form. While Hong Kong is often associated with minimal living space, it also offers instructive examples of well-planned new towns and housing estates developed to confront its deep-rooted housing challenges. A key factor in their relative success is the close integration of housing with public spaces and facilities. This proximity has shaped Hong Kong’s urban quality and offers valuable insights for the wider international debate on compact, inclusive, and sustainable urbanism.
