Have you experienced the overcrowded living space in Hong Kong?
As a scholar in architecture, Prof. NG Yan Yung shared his story about the how he could help improving the living conditions in this overpopulated city:
"When Professor Ng returned to Hong Kong in 1999, he was surprised to find that many people in this city still lived in poor and overcrowded conditions, without suitable amount of daylight and proper air ventilation. And he remembered his teacher's question: 'What should be done?'"
I find this is an very good story for all scientists and engineers. Complete article can be found:
