To me as an urban planner, Union Square (as it's formally known) is a spectacle of ultra high density mixed use development. This development is built over the Kowloon MTR Station and sits on 13 hectares of land reclaimed from Victoria Harbour. A high end shopping mall, Elements, occupies well over a million square feet above the train/MTR station. The roof of the mall is used as a quasi public plaza and as access to the multiple towers on site. There are over 8,000 housing units here, as well as the 118 storey Intrenational Commerce Centre and W Hotel.
Housing prices are shocking. At the "Harbourside", the 75 storey blue tower second from left for example, a lower floor 743 square foot two bedroom apartments was listed at $21 million HKD ($3.4 million Canadian/ $2.7 million USD )in December 2017 .
When I first visited this development in 2008, it seemed completely isolated from the city and was not at all a friendly place to get to as a pedestrian. In 2017, it's in the middle of a sea of cranes and new buildings.
In future, there will likely be better connectivity, as more massive development, the West Kowloon Cultural District, is currently taking place on 40 hectares of land adjacent to Elements/Union Square.

Cincinnati (/ˌsɪnsɪˈnæti/ SIN-sih-NAT-ee) is a major city in the U.S. state of Ohio and is the government seat of Hamilton County. Settled in 1788, the city is located at the northern side of the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers. The city drives the Cincinnati–Middletown–Wilmington combined statistical area, which had a population of 2,172,191 in the 2010 census making it Ohio's largest metropolitan area. With a population of 301,301, Cincinnati is the third-largest city in Ohio and 65th in the United States. Its metropolitan area is the fastest growing economic power in the Midwestern United States based on increase of economic output and it is the 28th-biggest metropolitan statistical area in the U.S. Cincinnati is also within a half day's drive of sixty percent of the United States populace.
In the nineteenth century, Cincinnati was an American boomtown in the heart of the country. Throughout much of the 19th century, it was listed among the top 10 U.S. cities by population, surpassed only by New Orleans and the older, established settlements of the United States eastern seaboard, as well as being the sixth-biggest city for a period spanning 1840 until 1860. As Cincinnati was the first city founded after the American Revolution, as well as the first major inland city in the country, it is regarded as the first purely "American" city.
Cincinnati developed with fewer immigrants and less influence from Europe than east coast cities in the same period. However, it received a significant number of German immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. By the end of the 19th century, with the shift from steamboats to railroads drawing off freight shipping, trade patterns had altered and Cincinnati's growth slowed considerably. The city was surpassed in population by other inland cities, particularly Chicago, which developed based on strong commodity exploitation, economics, and the railroads, and St. Louis, which for decades after the Civil War served as the gateway to westward migration.
Cincinnati is home to three major sports teams: the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball; the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League; and FC Cincinnati, currently playing in the second division United Soccer League but moving to Major League Soccer (Division 1) in 2019. The city's largest institution of higher education, the University of Cincinnati, was founded in 1819 as a municipal college and is now ranked as one of the 50 largest in the United States. Cincinnati is home to historic architecture with many structures in the urban core having remained intact for 200 years. In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was commonly referred to as the "Paris of America", due mainly to such ambitious architectural projects as the Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel, and Shillito Department Store. Cincinnati is the birthplace of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States.

I took this photo on the evening of May 18, 2016 from Rosa Parks Circle. The modern Barnes & Thornburg Building, opened in 2009, affords remarkable reflections of the McKay Tower, which opened in 1927. McKay Tower
