Hemmed in by hills to the north and south Hong Kong can only expand into the sea. Reclamation has been going on since 1851 and still continues. The constant redevelopment of the urban areas ensures that any site chosen for reclamation in centrally located areas is filled as fast as mechanical aids can make spoil available.
