Kowloon Walled City was a densely populated, largely ungoverned settlement in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
(...)
Its population increased dramatically following the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II. From the 1950s to the 1970s, it was controlled by Triads and had high rates of prostitution, gambling, and drug use.
Zniszczone na początku lat '90.
Miało w sobie parę elementów libertarianizmu, więc jeżeli znacie jakieś ciekawostki, to dawajcie
The City's dozens of alleyways were often only 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft) wide, and had poor lighting and drainage.[18] An informal network of staircases and passageways also formed on upper levels, which was so extensive that one could travel north to south through the entire City without ever touching solid ground.[4] Construction in the City went unregulated, and most of the roughly 350 buildings were built with poor foundations and few or no utilities.[19] Because apartments were so small—about 60% were 23 m2 (250 sq ft)—space was maximized with wider upper floors, caged balconies, and rooftop additions.[7][20][21] Roofs in the City were full of television antennas, clotheslines, water tanks, and garbage, and could be crossed using a series of ladders.
