Think ahead, think money

Riding on a rapid economic take-off, Hong Kongers born and grew up in the 80s and 90s are enjoying the fruit of the speedy development. Demolition, reconstruction, and construction of taller buildings, as well as in search of higher economic value, have resulted in a sparkling city full of skyscrapers, and this is the formula of development in Hong Kong. “The promotion of efficiency and the pursuit of economic value” becomes a golden rule for Hong Kongers. But during the process, what have we sacrificed? And has this economic value-oriented development pattern brought a better life for us? Isaac and Simon are two post 80’s. Apart from working full time, they are striving for the conservation of old districts and blocking the wheel of development with a gentle approach.
