To examine the seriousness of the high-density problem, this study aims to survey the health and safety performance of apartment buildings in a densely populated city, Hong Kong, using a simplified assessment scheme.
Several duplexes adjacent the site have a density of six units per acre, while apartments to the west have 21 units per acre, Mellinger said.
