If you were to rank countries by population density (people per square kilometers), you might be surprised to learn that Hong Kong actually ranks number 4, after Macau, Monaco, and Singapore, and that Bangladesh is a distant 10 on the list. Nevertheless, there are a lot of people in Hong Kong all competing for a small amount of space, so the government started to build affordable multistory public housing in 1954. There are many public housing estates in HK, but this one is unique in that it is circular in design, and the only one of its kind in the territory. The resulting spiral effect is a photographer’s dream. There are over 11K residents in this estate and by my count each floor has about 8 flats. In 2016, a circular atrium of this estate was used as a location for the filming of the movie Ghost in the Shell starring Scarlett Johansson.
