Places where living spaces are getting smaller.

Map of Hong Kong.
Mumbai's overpopulation problem.
For most of us , the first place that pops up in our minds will be the cramped up city of Hong Kong. Hong Kong sits on a relatively small area and with natural factors such as mountains and rivers, that small space is reduced further. With a population of 7.15 million living in a small area, it is one of the most dense cities in the world. I just read an article about how families can live in a 40 square-foot space, which is not much bigger than your typical king sized bed. Another place with serious problems is Mumbai, it has a small land area and a poor transport system., thus many people who are working in the city lives near the city, the result? Living spaces of 4.5 square meters per person and property prices sky-rocketed , mid-town flats can costs up to $1m-$3m.
