Major cities in the world should take a deeper look into controlling pollution problems in their cities. At some point, these places will no longer attract people to live in these areas, thus lowering the impact that these industries may have. But as long as people are still living here by the millions and there is tourism, and buisness is booming, nothing will be done about the issue.

Pollution is a huge issue facing both Hong Kong, and the rest of China in general. So far the government has done little to actually combat the problem. The Chinese governments response has been to pretend that the problem does not really exist. A fake skyline can just erase the problem. In reality dealing with the pollution issue would actually help the Chinese economy. When people seek to go on a vacation, they are seeking a destination that is clean and safe. Who wants to visit a place were, you have to ware a mask to prevent the breathing in of armful chemicals. A cleaner less polluted china would lead to an expanded tourism industry.
