Hong Kong started developing new towns in the 1950s, to accommodate rapidly growing populations. The terrains of Hong Kong are mostly mountainous and many places in the New Territories have limited access to roads. Some settlements were also set up for non-whites such as the former homeland capital of Bisho. Additionally the majority of settlements in South Africa were planned in their early stages and the original town centres still lie in a grid street fashion. Planned settlements set up for white inhabitants included Welkom, Sasolburg and Secunda.
