One of the main contributors to this state of affairs is geography: Less than 25% of Hong Kong consists of built up area, the rest is hilly and often reserved for parks or nature reserves.
Most people are squeezed into a small area on the island and Kowloon peninsula. This is why population density can range from as high as 56,000/sq km in parts of Kowloon to less than 4,000 in the majority of the territory!
