About this Item
Built without the contribution of architects or engineers, and with minimal government oversight, the Walled City, before it's demolition in 1993, was the most densely populated place on the planet.: home to 35.000 people living in 300 interconnected buildings in a single Hong Kong city block. After several failed attempts, Kowloon Walled City was finally demolished 20 years ago, leaving behind a legacy of fascination that continues to grow, fueled in part by the extraordinary communities of many urban legends. Designed and edited by Greg Girard and Ian Lambot, the team behind the City of Darkness: Life in Kowloon Walled City, this new publication questions those myths and explores the reality behind the Walled City's extraordinary architecture and development. Through photographs, drawings, and documents, many previously unpublished, plus an extended article by Hong Kong-based writer and journalist Fionnuala McHugh, the full story is revealed.
