The map
Ma Tau Wai is an area in Kowloon City District, Hong Kong, near To Kwa Wan and Hung Hom. From above it is a compact grid of city blocks lined with tenement buildings and low-rise and mid-rise residential towers, crossed by busy roads that run toward the harbour and the rest of Kowloon.
The neighbourhood lies close to the former Kai Tak airport, whose runway once stretched into Victoria Harbour and whose site has been redeveloped in recent years. Height restrictions tied to the old flight path long shaped buildings in this part of Kowloon. Today the area is served by the Tuen Ma line, with To Kwa Wan station nearby.
A Ma Tau Wai map poster is all about density. Streets form a tight, regular pattern, broken by the lines of major roads and the open ground of redevelopment zones. In black and white the grid reads almost like fabric, and nearby waterfront edges provide a clear frame for the composition.
Short, closely spaced blocks create a fine grid of streets that fills the map with a dense texture typical of older Kowloon neighbourhoods.
Broad roads cut through the grid and connect Ma Tau Wai with To Kwa Wan, Hung Hom and Kowloon City, giving the composition a stronger framework.
To the east lies the former Kai Tak airport site, now being redeveloped. Its large open area and harbour edge create a striking contrast with the dense streets.
