In August 2012, Cou4 Interactive has created an infographic illustrating the overall situation of Hong Kong with its performance in a number of international indices. A year later, the new 2013 edition is created, consisting of one long and 6 short infographics.

There is a saying in Hong Kong – “Prosperous on the outside; Unpromising on the inside”. This series of infographics intend to provide fellow Hongkongers with a fresh and comprehensive perspective to easily and quickly understand more about Hong Kong and look ahead to its future.
