Plenty Crowded: Hong Kong’s Population Density, 1932
Posted: February 15th, 2016 | 1 Comment »In 1932 the newspapers thought Hong Kong’s population density worthy of reporting when it hit 2,187 persons per square mile – the most densely packed city on earth then. For the record today’s recorded population density is 6,735 people per square mile – three times as many. Makes 1932 Hong Kong seem relatively empty and care free!
Hi Paul. My husband is a relative of Carl Crow and recently inherited Carl’s personal items including books, photographs from his time in China, artwork and other family items. Would you be interested in seeing any of this or is there a university library that would want the collection? Carl’s sister Roma was my husband’s grandmother.
Would be interested in your response. Sincerely, Susan Walters
