Hong Kong, Los Alamos and Hiroshima

Jennifer Pak explores the battle for space in Hong Kong's cramped and expensive housing market; Sarah Birke follows two very different nuclear narratives in US and Japanese museums

Owen Bennett Jones introduces personal insights, experiences and analysis from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ correspondents and writers from around the world. In Hong Kong, Jennifer Pak sets out to investigate the territory's notoriously cramped and expensive housing market. This is a place so crowded that "home" can mean a single room - or even a wire-mesh cage - and a tiny apartment of 30 square metres all to yourself could be called luxury. Sarah Birke compares the very different nuclear narratives presented in two museums - in Hiroshima and Los Alamos - and asks what they mean for debates over disarmament today.
