Hong Kong underground #1 - Sub-divided flats

in #story7 years ago

Don't think it hongkong as a developed city. There is top state of disparity. Let me show the reader how hongkongese be....

Subdivided flats (also called subdivided units) are a ubiquitous kind of rental housing present in Hong Kong. They are flats which shown on the original approved plan of a building being subdivided into two or more individual rooms. Generally, the original non-structural partition walls are removed while the new ones are erected, new toilets and kitchens are installed, and internal drains are added or altered. These works can cause adverse impacts on the safety and hygiene condition of the building if not handled properly. Most subdivided flats are located in old residential buildings. It is estimated that 280,000 people live in subdivided flats or other similarly undesirable conditions. With reference to the study by the Society for Community Organisation, people living in subdivided flats are mainly unemployed citizens, low income family, new immigrants, etc. The average size of a subdivided flat is found to be 30 square feet per person.

One photographer took the flat. Let me share.
