The Hong Kong core, makes sense because the HK core is super-dense
- user_7832 3y agoNice find! Yes, makes a lot of sense that HK is also going to be dense. And it’s islandic geography could explain why it drops off.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoThe reason HK is not more dense in general is because much of the TAR is unlivable water and mountains that have to be worked around (lots of bridges and tunnels). Once you just count people on livable land, its density shoots up. It isn’t like other cities where density ever tapers off, it’s just clumps of apartment skyscrapers here and there.
