Streets of Hong Kong

28 September 2006 251 views 3 Comments

I come across this post about streets of Hong Kong, and how it could be a model for NYC. It’s a good read, not a whole lot into details, but the one that caught my eyes are the comparison pictures, the before & after shots. The pictures really remind me why I felt so different when I was in HK last year compared to what I remembered from when I was little! It’s the streets! There are wider sidewalks and less “streets”!

Do you think it will work here in NYC? maybe in Chinatown? or Soho? I want to believe it will work, I would love to see less car and more space, but given American’s crazy car culture, I highly doubt it.
