Summary

Can we represent the contemporary city when urban conditions are taken to the extreme? How should we approach territorial dynamics and the multidimensional tensions that spread across the surface of the urban scape? Because of its particular history and geography, Hong Kong represents a unique synthesis of both global city and local territory. The question of space and place, and the specific pressure of accelerated time, make Hong Kong a moving platform of exchange within the Asian and world markets. mapping HK uses Hong Kong as a prototype for a new critical experiment.
