David Yanofsky, The Atlantic, on living conditions in Hong Kong:
But according to the Society for Community Organization, 100,000 of the city’s laborers live in sub-divided apartment units averaging 40 square feet. The Hong Kong based advocacy organization commissioned and released these photographs, depicting the living conditions inside these apartments from the only vantage point able to capture the entire unit—directly above.
The photos are stunning- perhaps not surprising though given that Hong Kong has a population density of over 16,500 people per square mile.
