The City's dozens of alleyways were often only 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft) wide, and had poor lighting and drainage.[18] An informal network of staircases and passageways also formed on upper levels, which was so extensive that one could travel north to south through the entire City without ever touching solid ground.[4] cyborganthropology.com/Kowloon_Walled_City

Greg Girard on Instagram: "Kowloon Walled City, Hong Kong, 1987. Over 300 interconnected high-rise buildings packed into a HK city block, built without permits or contributions from architects. While it stood it was the most densely populated place on earth. Demolished in 1992. www.greggirardpictures.com #cityofdarkness #cityofdarknessrevisited #kowloonwalledcity #kowloon #kowlooncity #urbandensity #hkarchitecture #hk #hkhistory #urbanfabric #cityscape #filmphotography #greggirard"
