Kowloon Walled City crammed 33,000 people into just 6.4 acres - one city block. That made it the densest place in recorded human history. About 300 towers rose 14 storeys high, packed so close that sunlight never reached the alleys. Neither Britain nor China governed it, so residents built their own unlicensed economy. It was demolished in 1993-1994. The site is now a park.
