This fictional urban resuscitation reveals not only the shortcomings of Hong Kong, but also the flaws in the tools with which we assess all cities. In order to improve our cities, we may also have to refine our standards of judgement. Hong Kong Fantasies is based on a workshop and studio organized by The Why Factory in collaboration with the International Forum on Urbanism, the Berlage Institute, the Delft University of Technology, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University in Hong Kong at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Fantasies is the fifth book in the Why Factory’s Future Cities series and based on an animated movie entitled ‘Hong Kong Power’.
