The Homemakers
Housing is one of Hong Kong's proudest achievements. It is probable that no other community of similar size and situation throughout history has ever equalled Hong Kong's post-war record in housing its millions. Well over one-third of the total population now lives in subsidized housing (more than one million of them in the towering resettlement estates alone).
The picture below shows part of this year's most striking housing achievement, the Housing Authority's new Wah Fu estate, which will eventually house about 54,000 people.
