Despite the separation of Hong Kong from the rest of China, Hong Kong's "development" and urbanization cannot be understood without systematic reference to Hong Kong's Chinese hinterland. Historical and statistical analyses reveal that ongoing economic, demographic, and social ties with the rest of China are what made Hong Kong's transformation possible. Only when we consider Hong Kong, not as a colonial "city-state" in cold war isolation from the People's Republic of China, but as a Chinese city in continued-though at times attenuated-ties with its Chinese hinterland, can we explain and forecast Hong Kong's past and future.
