Since 1980, the population of Hong Kong has increased 50%, from about 5 million to 7.5 million. Much of this influx and consequent urbanization has occurred on Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula (seen at right), where roughly half of the total population lives. This Timelapse video also captures growth of Shenzhen, China (far left), which has surged from a population of 350,000 to over 17.5 million in the same timeframe.
