Hong Kong’s illegal micro-apartments / by Richard

In Hong Kong the square-meter is expensive, with the world’s third-most expensive housing market, many of the city’s lower-income residents are forced to live in very small apartments.

In an attempt to draw attention to the issue, human rights organization Society for Community Organization recently commissioned a series of photographs showing what a number of unacceptable living spaces look like when viewed from directly overhead.

In each photo is a QR code that directs viewers to a petition to the Hong Kong government.
