JLFC Report Series

The JLFC Report Series aim to provide state-of-the art reviews of key urban theories/concepts and real-life experiences. A particular focus is placed on the experience of Hong Kong as a high-density and compact city, and its relevancy to other metropolitan cities around the world. All reports in the JLFC Report Series are free for download by the general public. Comments and suggestions either on specific reports or the series may be directed to jlfc@hku.hk.
