Hong Kong's Cage Dwellers
Meet the men, women and children forced to live in squalid cages due to Hong Kong's meteoric property boom.
Record prices in the city mean that tens of thousands of people have quite literally been priced out of the market.
For many the only place they can afford to call home is a 6ft by 2 1/2ft metal wire cage stacked as many as three deep.
With nearly 16,500 people for every square mile, space in the city is at a premium and even the smallest home can come with a hefty price-tag.
Cashing in on the misery of people unable to afford anywhere to live, unscrupulous landlords have packed dilapidated buildings with tiny 'cubicles'.
They then charge as much as US$200 a month for these wood and metal cages - with some packed 20 to a single room.
Cages on the bottom of the pile normally cost more than those stacked above as they offer a tiny bit more space - making it just about possible to stand up straight.
With squalid shared bathroom and toilet facilities, many of these cage home apartments have no cooking facilities.
This forces those who live there to spend what money they do have on takeaway food.
Cage homes have been a feature of Hong Kong's property market for decades. For many they are the only alternative to living on the streets.
With economic crisis rife throughout the world there are ever more people forced to live in them.
And as demand for cage homes grows so does the cost of renting them.
On a square-foot basis, many are now more expensive than mansions located in Hong Kong's exclusive Peak district.
According to social workers, an estimated 100,000 people live in inadequate housing, a category that includes cubicle, cage, rooftop and partitioned dwellings.
While the government does offer social housing people can often spend years on the wai...

Hong Kong's Cage Dwellers
Meet the men, women and children forced to live in squalid cages due to Hong Kong's meteoric property boom.
Record prices in the city mean that tens of thousands of people have quite literally been priced out of the market.
For many the only place they can afford to call home is a 6ft by 2 1/2ft metal wire cage stacked as many as three deep.
With nearly 16,500 people for every square mile, space in the city is at a premium and even the smallest home can come with a hefty price-tag.
Cashing in on the misery of people unable to afford anywhere to live, unscrupulous landlords have packed dilapidated buildings with tiny 'cubicles'.
They then charge as much as US$200 a month for these wood and metal cages - with some packed 20 to a single room.
Cages on the bottom of the pile normally cost more than those stacked above as they offer a tiny bit more space - making it just about possible to stand up straight.
With squalid shared bathroom and toilet facilities, many of these cage home apartments have no cooking facilities.
This forces those who live there to spend what money they do have on takeaway food.
Cage homes have been a feature of Hong Kong's property market for decades. For many they are the only alternative to living on the streets.
With economic crisis rife throughout the world there are ever more people forced to live in them.
