Bad town planning?

Bad town planning, or no town planning at all? There are a few areas in HK with similar views of flyovers/highways cutting through residential areas like this -- the result of rapid economic growth in the 70's when infrasturture development had priority over a lot of other things.

Fantastic shot. If the happy road worker was director of the planning department this would never happen.

Really nice shot Lisi, very futuristic. I suppose somebody in one of those appartments could make a living washing car windows.

Lisi, I like the movement in the photo. The curves and straight lines are a very nice contradiction.

Personally I wouldnt prefer living in that apartment, car fumes, noise might get to me. This pic reminds me of the time I went to hongkong ( almost 10 years ago) and I was so frightened because the planes wings were almost touching the nearby buildings. It was a thrilling, frightening experience. You have a new airpot now,right?!

but a great shot!!

Hi Lisi,

Nice picture, reminds me of São Paulo, Brazil, which has a similar intra-city highway that locals know as the "minhocão", the big maggot (because you find them in big apples?). But this one's cleaner and brighter. One day, I've just gotta come to HK, maybe when my 15-month daughter's a little older.
All the best,
Simon

Nice photo

It looks a little like those futuristic cities you see in sci-fi movies where roads a built high between tall buildings.

Hi, thanks for the footprints...

This is only a small section of this long flyover leading from western mid-hill to the waterfront on HK island, riding on it is a thrilling experience to me. And those people in the apartments really don't have much choice back in the 70's when very few people protested the government's decision.
