Through Poon Chi Hung’s photographic works San Po Kong and the observational records in Chio Hio Tong’s The Birds of Kai Tak, the complex and dynamic relationship between urban development and nature is revealed. Poon, a resident of San Po Kong, captured the interplay of old and new in his photographs – the demolishing of Tai Hom Village and the subsequent construction of subsidised housing. On the other hand, Chio documented birds of the area, which have displayed remarkable resilience and persistence in their behaviour.
