The process of demolishing Kowloon Walled City started 20 years ago. Not destructed, nor deconstructed. Demolished. It would take until April 1994 for the site to be completely cleared. In it’s place a park, named after the former host structure, was placed.  Originally KWC was a Chinese Outpost set up in 960 AD for managing salt trade routes. It did not begin it’s rise to an urban settlement until 1947 after Japan’s surrender. At that point China announced its intent to reclaim its rights to the KWC. Refugees poured in to take advantage of Chinese protection, and 2,000 squatters occupied the Walled City by 1947. After a failed attempt to drive them out in 1948, the British adopted a ‘hands-off’ policy in most matters concerning the Walled City. Between 1948 and 1957 there was no official state that had jurisdiction over the city. In 1057 a murder trial set the precedent for Hong Kong PD to have jurisdiction themselves. (1:47pm)
