The Kowloon Walled City, in Hong Kong, was demolished 20 years ago this month. It had begun as a garrison during the Sung Dynasty of 960-1297, and its story since then is both unbelievable and fascinating. It grew in size and population until, for most of the 1900s, it was the most densely populated area in the world: http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1191748/kowloon-walled-city-life-city-darkness
