In Hong Kong, high-rise High-density urban form is the result of land scarcity and massive in-migration (Figure 1). However, the creation of its unique urban form has rarely been underpinned by sustainable development criteria, nor, arguably, urban design criteria. Increasingly, the quality of life that it offers is becoming an important issue. Density is thus a critical issue for Hong Kong with urban forms at both extremes of the density spectrum. This paper presents a case study evidence in order to highlight density related issues and policies. The paper adopted a methodology, which focuses on theoretical underpinning of the available data mainly empirical in nature.
