The Kowloon walled city was a Bladerunner-ish urban fabric of Hong Kong; a solid 2.7 hectare block of unrestrained city. It was the most densely populated place on earth, with 3,250,000 people per square mile.
By the 1980′s the squalid conditions had become too much of a concern for the Hong Kong authorities. Despite protests, the government spent HK$ 2.7 billion on relocating the residents. By 1992, the city was empty.
It has been twenty years since the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City. To mark this, the South China Morning Post has created an info-graphic that details the facts and figures of what life was like inside this architectural oddity.
