Hong Kong has launched a massive development project called Northern Metropolis, intended to transform part of the New Territories into a vast technology hub. The project is expected to create 650,000 jobs and housing for 2.5 million people, but also involves the demolition of at least 25 villages. While the authorities see it as a new economic engine and a way to strengthen ties with mainland China, residents and environmentalists are denouncing the human, ecological, and financial consequences of this transformation.
