People sit in a common area between wooden boxes they use for living in Hong Kong October 9, 2012. In Hong Kong's middle-class residential area, short distance from its shopping and financial districts, 24 people live in these wooden boxes, or "coffin homes", packed in a single apartment of little over 50 square meters. Its residents pay 1450 Hong Kong dollars ($180) for their living space built of wooden panels of 2 meters by 70 cm. To maximize income from the rent in central Hong Kong landlords build "coffin homes", nicknamed due to their resemblance to real coffins. Space has always been at a premium in Hong Kong where developers plant high-rises on every available inch.

Jak je vlastně možné, aby se do tak malého prostoru vměstnalo tolik osob? Odpověď je snadná. Každý člověk zde spí v dřevěném boxu dlouhém asi 2 metry a širokém 70 cm. | Foto: Reuters
