Cities are living organisms that are constantly shaped by by people, culture, and time. Hong Kong’s transformation from a sleepy fishing village to global financial powerhouse has left its mark not just on skylines, but on street signs too. This project began with a moment of curiosity. Fresh out of a data science class, I walked past Possession Street and noticed something odd: its English and Chinese names didn’t match. That linguistic disconnect sparked a few questions—who names our streets, and what do those names say about us?

Why 4.2%? That’s the portion of Hong Kong’s land covered by streets. It’s also a cheeky nod to 42… the answer to life, the universe, and everything. 🚀
