Intro

In this episode, we break down the massive residential blaze in Hong Kong's Tai Po district that tore through the Wong Fook Court housing estate, killing residents, injuring many others, and leaving multiple towers uninhabitable. We also unpack how bamboo scaffolding and renovation practices may have fueled the inferno, and what this tragedy reveals about building safety, tenant protection, and the urgent need for housing reforms in dense cities like Hong Kong.
