Came across this interesting article about Kowloon Walled City while doing Kickstarter-related things - reading about this place, it's kind of hard to believe that it really existed!
I've said it before, but I want to reiterate that I think this city is an ideal model to keep in mind when we imagine 'the Mix'; despite its complete lawlessness and being surrounded in rumors of violent crime and squalor, it was in actuality a rather tight-knit community of individuals working together to live comfortably and peacefully despite the extraordinary conditions they found themselves in.
If you don't have time to read the article, at least look at the images - they're incredible!
