Description:
Kowloon: Relief Map Service, [c.1950].. Large unique large scale hand-crafted relief map of plaster on hard-board made for the British Navy measuring 85 x 122 cm, 91 x 130 overall. An important historic record showing the shoreline of Hong Kong before much of the major land reclamation projects undertaken to expand the limited supply of usable land in Hong Kong. Indeed around 25 percent of all developed land in Hong Kong is built on reclaimed land. From the iconic Hong Kong skyline to the industrial hubs in the New Territories, reclamation has been a key element in turning Hong Kong from a tiny fishing village into a world city, transforming 67sq km of sea and swamp into prime real estate.
