The walled City of West Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was demolished in 1993 as it had become an area of illegal activity. The images and history of the City are interesting with it having been one of the last areas of Chinese territory in British Hong Kong, Japanese occupied during World War 2 and after that it became a red light district.
More details on the project can be found at G.O.D. collective . Designboom has a good article on the work at G.O.D: west kowloon walled city installation .
