Phnom Penh is quite literally exploding with people. Every day new people from the countryside move to try their luck in the city. So, the city is overcrowded and getting moreso. Thus the gentrification of certain parts of the city has been inevitable.

In this picture you can see a larger number of cars than I ever see in a day's time. That's because this apartment block is across from one of the city's many open air markets. The real means of transpo around here are motorcycles (not much bigger or faster than my electric scooter back home.) or as taxis---tuk-tuks, motorycycles trailing a covered carriage. All in all whether getting around by bike, moto or tuk-tuk you can ride quite in fashion Khmer-style.
