Grand panorama of the Kowloon walled city. Amazing level of detail and complexity so I recomend seeing the full image as this is only a tiny part! The actual city was demolished only recently in 1994.

Design agency ‘Information Architects‘ has created an image of the top 300 most popular sites and domain using Tokyo’s Metro map as a basis. You’ll need to make this image bigger with a click to see it in all it’s glory.
