A Hong Kong vertical vision
Hong Kong is not exactly known as a town of low-rise buildings, but this set of photos prepared by Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze captures the true scale of the colossal city.Ironically, the French photographer chose a little-known corner of the metropolis â€" the floor â€" to reveal the extraordinary looks and often ignored by Hong Kong residents.The pictures are placed in the perspective of who looks up and can even cause nausea, but it's for a good cause: understand how contractors and real estate managers have the green light to reach the limits of infinity, at the expense, sometimes, the well-being of its tenants and owners."In Hong Kong has always existed a lot of leeway to contractors build what they want. There are no limits, "explained Jacquet-Lagrèze to CNN."I am used to big cities. Tokyo is very dense and giant, but less impressive in terms of height â€" is much more widespread. Hong Kong is more violent in that aspect, "he continued.To continue to thrive, the megacity needs include sustainability strategies in its urban planning. This is the only way the city pollution levels will decrease and she will enter the lists of the most endangered sites in the world. Fortunately, some steps have already been taken to join the sustainability to environmental education.See some of the photos of Jaquet-Lagrèze..fancybox-wrap { position: absolute; top:0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; } .fancybox-skin { position: relative; /*margin-top:20px !important;*/ background: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; } .fancybox-opened { z-index: 8030; } .fancybox-opened .fancybox-skin { -webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); } .fancybox-outer, .fancybox-inner { position: relative; } .fancybox-inner { overflow: hidden; } .fancybox-type-iframe .fancybox-inner { -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; } .fancybox-close{ background: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width:25px; height:25px; float:right; margin-top:10px; margin-right:5px; } /*.ngg-gallery-image img{width:565px; height:393px;}*/
