To keep this post short, I would like to learn about Kowloon walled city since microstates and stuff that's adjacent to them fascinates me, and I would like to request some trusted sources that are not libbed up, like maybe a PRC documentary translated to English, but literally anything not covered in libslop will do. Thank you in advance!

I understand your point and I accept that there is a curiosity to understand how such a place would have worked, in the sense of such limited space human habitation.

But come on, you can't compare it to the literal Pyramids, they are tombs, in the middle of the desert, not a sprawling block in the middle of a city that people actually needed to live in. The primary purpose matters.

For Kowloon, Were it possible at the time, perhaps exhaustive 3D scans of the building layouts and constructions before they demolished it could have been a valuable and interesting preservation of data to study later, but alas.
