8 Stunning Shots Of Tiny Cubicle Apartments In Hong Kong That Will Make You Feel Claustrophobic

Hong Kong was once bequeathed the title of the world’s ‘most liveable city’ by The Economist in 2012. What many people don’t know is that there is a fraction of Hong Kong residents living in unacceptable conditions. Chinese human rights organization ‘Society for Community Organization‘ commissioned a series of photographs showing a number of unacceptable living spaces viewed from overhead.

According to the SoCO, over 100,000 people live in tiny “cubicle apartments” in the city. These are 40-square-foot living spaces created by dividing already-small apartments into multiple units.

Can you believe these are actually apartments?
