Hong Kong

Hong Kong is 1,114 square kilometres carrying 7.5 million residents, the fourth-most densely populated territory on earth, and it is not one settlement but three: Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon peninsula facing it across the harbour, and the New Territories running north to the mainland border at Shenzhen. It has more skyscrapers than anywhere else in the world. The number that actually shapes a day here, though, is the one above ninety percent — the share of journeys made on public transport. The ferry, the MTR and the tram do the work a car does elsewhere.
