That's probably true of the HK island, but not the HK territory that is mostly not urbanized and offers plenty of space for housing.
The fact that it's filled with high-rises is a choice, not a necessity.

Let's be honest : high-rises allow the density that makes transportation easier, cheaper, more efficient. Housing the population in low rises results in urban sprawl...
