Kowloon Walled City

Excellent photos from a page lamenting the destruction and improper documentation of a socially and architecturally unique human event. I share his lament and add that this is proof that when a zone of freedom is created, people will live there regardless of other conditions.

This is the freedom that only technology can give us at this point.

Unfortunately, the location was largely undocumented and it looks
like the book above is one of the most complete and easy-to-access
resources I could find on KWC. If anybody knows of any other place I
can see photos and read information, please pass that info along to me!

There are great aerial photos of KWC at deputydog.

Sad and beautiful at the same time. I'd like to order a print of this.



LMFAO
