La creación del moderno Hong Kong parece tener los siguientes ingredientes:
Business and the Built Environment

Governance:
1.Positive non-interventionism / Laissez-faire capitalism
2.Legal system based on UK law

Hong Kong provided this
Hong Kong

This physical growth has taken place under extreme limitations producing a unique result:

Hong Kong has over 7600 skyscrapers (over 80m)
…..The most of any city in the world
Total land: 1,104 km2
38% (416 km2 ) of the land is Parks and Reserves
