In response, researchers pointed out that there should be a "minimum" distance of 50 meters between gas stations and residences, and 100 meters from "particularly vulnerable" facilities such as hospitals, health centers, schools, and nursing homes. "Ideally, a distance of 100 meters should be respected in the plans for building new houses."
The Distance in +852 focuses on the distance between gas stations and residences in Hong Kong, capturing a microcosm of the city through the lens. In the bustling city, the distance between gas stations and residential buildings is far less than the recommended 50 meters by the study, and some gas stations are even located directly under residential buildings. This situation is particularly common in densely populated cities like Hong Kong.
