This little documentary about the walled city of Kowloon (now apparently torn down) has some striking parallels with what I think we imagine medieval cities to have been like. Worth watching.
Interesting. I read in Wikipedia that the entire complex was demolished in 1994. This is how I pictured medieval cities (perhaps not stacked 15 stories high). People crowded together for protection.
