Kowloon, the Walled City - Imagination Fuel

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.

  1. 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.
