350 pages : illustrations (some color), maps ; 24 cm

"This book is an inquiry into the space between the slowness of architecture and the speed of the city, between the skyline and the underground. It is a critical mapping of islands as territories of resistance. It explores the histories, identities, and places that are created in tandem with urban development. It endeavors to make visible the culture of resistance and architecture's complicit role in these contestations. It is about imagining the future for the reconstitution of society as a form of resistance for the present. It is about urban resilience. It is about Hong Kong, where uncertainty is the status quo"-- Provided by publisher.
