Love Your City 6 x 6 | Hong Kong

Little about Hong Kong The city was a British colony from 1842 to 1997. The National Geographic described Hong Kong's history as "one of rapid growth, political turmoil, and continual demands for change." Hong Kong has returned to China on 1st July 1997 under the under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle. The Urban Landscape Hong Kong covers Hong Kong Island, Lantau Island, the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories, including 262 outlying islands. Hong Kong’s terrain is mostly hilly and has steep slopes. Also, about 40 percent of Hong Kong’s land is designated as Country Park to provide habitats for biological species. Due to these reasons, the actual amount of developable flat land in Hong Kong is very limited, making its population density the fourth greatest in the world. The Population and Language Hong Kong is famous for international trade and financial investment. Because of this, the city is very urbanized. It has more than seven million residents in a little more than 400 square miles, and 100 percent of the population lives in urban areas. A lot of the foreigners misunderstood Hong Kong speakers Mandarin, not really! In Hong Kong, nearly 90% of the population are Cantonese speakers where only 1.9% speaks Mandarin. English is Hong Kong's second official language other than Cantonese. The Biggest Urban Challenge in Hong Kong Hong Kong has long been suffering from a housing shortage and high sales and rental prices. According to CBRE, Hong Kong is the priciest city in the world to buy a property, with an average price of US$1.25 million. Hong Kong is also the third most expensive city to rent with an average monthly rent of US$2,681, coming after New York and Abu Dhabi. <h2>To overcome Hong Kong’s housing crisis, Hong Kongers have been using their creative minds to come up with different innovative solutions.</h2>

Love Your City 6 x 6 | Lagos

Lagos| The most populated city in the world and one of the world’s largest cities. Located on the Western Coast of Nigeria, there are over 21 million residents living in a 356 861 hectare area. Everyone seems to be going somewhere fast, always on the move, always on the go. The city is characterized by a motivated atmosphere. Lagos was founded by the Awori, who are a tribe of the Yoruba people, in the 13th century. The city has been Nigeria's premier city since at least 1861. Lagos was part of the United Kingdom’s West African Settlements from 1866 to 1874. In 1914, Lagos was named Nigeria's political capital, retaining that status until 1991 when Abuja formally became Nigeria's new federal capital territory. Lagos prides itself as a megacity. The real estate market is continually on the rise in the city. Estimates show that Lagos grows 2-3% each year, which equates to more than 630 000 new residents every year in numbers. The city is bounded by the state of Ogun to the north and east, by the Bight of Benin to the south, and by the Republic of Benin to the west.  Lagos spreads over what used to be the four main islands: Lagos, Iddo (now attached to the mainland), Ikoyi (now attached to Lagos Island), and Victoria (now the tip of the Lekki Peninsula). The city is dominated by islands, sandbars, and lagoons. A system of bridges connects some of Lagos’s islands to each other and to the mainland. The city currently stands as the 6th largest in the world by city population. Development in Lagos is taking place by converting coastal wetlands into urbanized communities. The growth of urbanization will ultimately impact on soil erosion, biodiversity, infrastructure demands, and public health. There are 14,3 Million citizens in Lagos. The city is known for its beach resorts & nightlife. It is also known for being a financial centre, being home to most banks and other financial institutions such as the Stock Exchange. The city handles 80% of the Nigeria's imports. The city's population consists of between 70–80% of the Yorùbán tribe; 15% Nigerians and the remainder are non-Africans. There are 4 dominant languages spoken in Lagos: standard Yoruba and its dialects, Igbo, pidgin English or indigenous Nigerian English and English. The biggest urban challenge In general Lagos has by far the highest road density in Nigeria. The uncontrolled commercial development on the islands has produced persistent traffic bottlenecks. The average commuter in Lagos spends over 3 hours in traffic every day. It makes Lagos one of the most congested cities in the world. 40% of the new cars in Nigeria are registered in Lagos, which occupies just one per cent of the country’s total area. There is a wider Strategic Transport Master Plan which includes: • an integrated transport system that links road, rail and waterway networks; • a new airport further away from the urban environment; • the development of mixed-use urban developments combining residential and commercial areas to reduce the number of journeys people need to make;

Singapore: Smartest city in the World!

Welcome to Love Your City, where we focus on the relationship between real estate or property, depending how you refer to it, technology & people. The 2020 series starts off with a 10-part series that will look at cities: to better understand the LIVE| WORK| PLAY model, with the continuous evolution in residential, commercial, retail and industrial real estate/ property. Especially when we look at the urbanization that will be central to cities well into the future! When you think of a smart city, you think of a place that allows you to live, work & play in a modern scenario. This means a seamless integration, between real estate/ property (from residential to commercial), continuous  evolution in terms of the tech. applications that complement these assets, to improve the lives of the citizens (as well visitors) to these cities. With that said, we look at Singapore to understand what sets it apart from all the other cities in the world. Its recent title as the smartest city in the world comes after a survey done by Swiss business school IMD & Singapore University of Technology & Design, in a collaboration called the IMD Smart Cities Index. The index focused on how cities are implementing digital technologies to improve the lives of those that live in it. So what makes this city stand out? The index measures how cities perform when it comes to green spaces & how they are maintained, how local institutions that exist are made more efficient, making employment opportunities to be digitized for ease of access as well as providing security to those that are custodians of the city - which are the citizens. Having a government with a long-term vision, which sees the public sector being extremely efficient and having very low corruption, has gone a long way in allowing the city to rank above all others in the index. So, I guess you want to know  the 3 areas that contributed to Singapore being the smartest city in the world. 1) Having a healthier population: initiatives such as the health city novena allows for a community-focused health plan. There are walkways for pedestrians,  underground car parks & outdoor green spaces from a property/ real estate perspective, which complements the experience for citizens & patients. 2) The housing development board of Singapore has done what a lot of governments use as part of their election manifesto: free public housing for all their citizens. Despite that its a relatively small city-state, it has created spaces that are liveable, sustainable & ready for growth. It's an impressive accomplishment when you consider that 80% of the country's population lives in these types of housing. You can imagine the great deal of financial planning & allocation of this inclusive housing that takes place. This needs to consider racial harmony that has to be implemented as well as the insurance that covers these assets.  3) And lastly its mobility. The city has excellent infrastructure, from roads, ports to airports. Efficient transportation has played a pivotal role in the smart city model of Singapore. It allows for commuters to have a mix of walking & cycling that is complemented by mass rapid transit & buses. There are smart traffic cameras which restrict traffic depending on volume, easing the commute for thousands of passengers daily. This has allowed citizens to reduce pollution through sustainable energy use, which allows for recreational spaces that are liveable. Active lifestyles ends up being the norm, where the advanced technologies are applied for mobile communities. So what can other cities learn from Singapore? Clever application of technology is all well & good in terms of what a smart city is all about, but it becomes pointless when it doesn't improve the quality of life for its citizens (as well as visitors).
