Building regulations and government control have always constrained and influenced the development of Hong Kong architecture. The government holds most of the land in Hong Kong (Crown hold), except for the villages in the New Territories and some special areas. In the mid-nineteenth century, the government divided the land on Hong Kong Island and leased it to interested people.
