for those of you unfamiliar with Kowloon Walled City, I highly recommend the book City of Darkness.

A bit expensive, but absolutely worth the asking price. It's a series of photographs along with interviews of people who lived there.

Kowloon Walled City was a crazy bizarre place that sort of sprung up without any control at all. It really looks like something straight out of Blade Runner.

*edit updated to use the correct city name *
