Social Mixing in Hong Kong
“We shape our buildings; there after they shape us.”
What makes a city more socially mixed?
World large cities are expected to encourage diverse experience of citizens – to meet people
with different social backgrounds. However, we have not yet able to test if the ongoing development
in cities encourages such socially mixed experience. Here, we used the travel characteristics survey (TCS)
data from Hong Kong across decades to estimate the changes of experienced social mixing from both place and
individual perspectives.
