There is a sorta cameo of Kowloon in the Anime "Ghost in the shell #11" a slum which the immigrants have been forced into, not only stylistically resembles the walled city, but is complemented with airlines coming in low overhead .

Here's a blog that deserves a mention in this thread, if it hasn't already:

Especially the Architecture & Infrastructure section has a lot of interest to the KWC Fan.

I looked online and the book: City of Darkness is at the Los Angeles Central Library! Looks like I will be spending much time there

MolsonExport · #**430** Posted **Dec 8, 2013, 1:42 AM**

I bought that book. I have read through it 3 times. Fascinating.

They should obviously build the KWC tower so I can buy/rent an apartment there.

Very similar in style to the famous WCK. Behold the also famous Chungking Mansions in Hong Kong:

Maybe that's where many of the former residents moved to. Hong Kong's architecture seems to be the inspiration for many anime, aside from Tokyo and other cities in Japan.
