About this book

After several failed attempts, Kowloon Walled City has finally demolished 20 years ago, leaving behind a legacy of fascination that continues to grow, fuelled in part by the extraordinary communities of many urban legends. Designed and edited by Greg Girard and Ian Lambot, the team behind the City of Darkness: Life in Kowloon Walled City, this new publication questions those myths and explores the reality behind the Walled City's extraordinary architecture and development. Through photographs, drawings, and documents, many previously unpublished, plus an extended article by Hong Kong-based writer and journalist Fionnuala McHugh, the full story is revealed.
