Shu-Mei Huang is assistant professor at the Graduate Institute of Building and Planning at National Taiwan University.
The greatest strength of the book is that it covers immense ground,
both theoretically and empirically, in a coherent and creative
way.... In short, this is an innovative, important and timely book.
It should be read by anyone who cares about Hong Kong and the fate
of care in our urban age.
*Urban Studies*
Shu-Mei Huang’s book not only offers a superb account of the human
challenges created by one of the world’s most expensive housing
systems, but also breaks new theoretical ground in integrating
issues of housing and urban development and processes of caring
through the idea of the “carescape,” which has great relevance for
understanding other cities as well.
