London is building many more units, but they also have a greater influx of people - or, rather, they have significantly less out-migration than NYC.

London isn't. In 1991 London's population was a little less than 7 million. Now it is a little more than 8 million. In 1900, NYC's population was a little more than 7 million. Now it is a little more than 8 million.
Hong Kong's population grew slightly more from 5.5 million in the early 90s to about 7 million today.
Really all three of these cities have comperable growth rates and comperable populations and each strongly represent the ecconomies of the contienents they are a part of, which is likely why they were chosen.
