It was light industrial (warehouses along the rail line), not heavy industrial (steel foundry etc.), so a lot of roads and low-rise.
Now there are only high towers added now.  And nowhere for the people above to go.
Besides the streets fronts are "ethnic" not what the rich white anglos in the towers want to mingle with.

Where is the sub-contract with Hong Kong's Development Agency?

The new bunch of towers along the Boundary Road edge have all their tiny windows open because they are not ready for the heat, (nor extreme cold in winter) this summer.

And what development lets their "grass fields" go brown like that.  A fire hazard and an example of a powerful lack of thought.
