The following is an incomplete list of urban settlements, towns, new towns (satellite towns) in Hong Kong.
While the Government of Hong Kong is unitary and Hong Kong law does not define cities and towns as subsidiary administrative units, the geographical limits of the City of Victoria, Kowloon and New Kowloon are defined in law. None of these three areas have administrative authorities separate from the Special Administrative Region. Administratively, Hong Kong is divided into districts, the boundaries of which are drawn according to mountains, coastlines and roads, and do not coincide with the natural extents of any urbanised areas.
