Times Square

This guide to the Times Square piazza in Hong Kong traces how a former tram depot became a public plaza written into a 1994 Deed of Dedication, and how the company that built it began renting the space out anyway. It follows a coffee chain's years-long tenancy, a government lawsuit over backdated rent, and a 2008 incident where security guards turned pedestrians away from ground the public was legally owed. Listen for what the piazza's history says about who actually controls a public space in Hong Kong.
