Hong Kong

Hong Kong has no suburban condition, it is either a minimum 30 storey mixed use, dense, tower or tropical rain-forest-garden...no space for in-between - implicit...no time for inefficiency of going round in circles in conversations as well as around stupid cul-de-sacs. Signals have a beat of urgency and people walk with super-purpose. The crowd is one and the air has energy like it will catch fire.
its explicit, in your face, fast, ultra dense, mixed use and everything that a city needs to be and yet it also provides each of its citizen ample accessible green space. The city is dense but through constant views of the nature beyond or tropical greenery entering the city, it somehow manages to maintain a good balance...a no point did we feel overwhelmed by the density.
Super awesome city.
