Inside Hong Kong’s Shoebox Apartments: Life in Homes Smaller Than a Parking Space

Hong Kong is one of the richest cities on Earth — yet behind its glass towers, hundreds of thousands of people live in spaces smaller than a parking space. This documentary takes you inside Hong Kong’s “shoebox” apartments: subdivided flats and nano-units where every centimeter matters. Following the daily routine of one resident, we examine how people cook, sleep, work, and survive when privacy, ventilation, and safety are limited. This is not a story about extremes for shock value. It is a quiet look at how modern housing systems push people to adapt — and what happens when housing becomes a commodity instead of a place to live. 00:00 – A wealthy city with a hidden housing crisis 00:31 – Measuring a shoebox apartment: life under 8 m² 01:15 – Nano flats and the myth of “efficient living” 02:14 – Cooking, storage, and movement in a confined space 03:17 – Laundry, hygiene, and ventilation problems 04:06 – Who actually lives in shoebox apartments 05:23 – Students, workers, families, and elderly residents 05:50 – How land policy shapes apartment size 06:28 – Developer incentives and shrinking homes 07:15 – Rent pressure and affordability limits 07:56 – Fire risks and safety failures in subdivided flats 08:36 – Housing tragedies and long-term consequences 08:44 – New regulations and minimum size rules 09:33 – Legal vs illegal housing: who gets excluded 10:08 – Over 220,000 people living below car-park size 10:22 – When housing becomes a commodity, not a home #ExtremeHousing #HongKongHousing #ShoeboxApartments #HousingCrisis #UrbanDensity #MicroApartments #SubdividedFlats #CityLife #UrbanInequality #AffordableHousing #InsideHomes #ModernCities #HumanLiving #Documentary
