one of the most densely populated places on earth, the Kawloon Walled City was destroyed in 1993. It had a population of 50,000 people in the space of .01003865 square miles or 6.4247 acres. The walled city was defined by the existing ancient Chinese watchpost that wasn't under British Rule, it became then a sort of rule-less outpost that at the time of its demolition had everything from drug rings, casinos and factories within its walls.
Density at its greatest, the vertical city was a one of a kind...
A Japanese team documented one of the last "expeditions" to this matrix city.
