These pics aren't mine, I am merely sharing them with you guys because I feel they give a really good perspective on how streetlife feels in the older parts of Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Posted by Kilgour Trout on SPP:

I finally got around to uploading all of my Hong Kong photos to Flickr, which involved remastering many of them. The last time most of these were posted was in July 2005 and some are even making their debut on the forum.

These are just a fraction of the photos I took in Hong Kong; You can check out all of them here. They're currently tagged by neighbourhood but I will be resizing and reorganizing them in the coming months.

All of the following photos were taken in Kowloon and the New Territories.

HK is the best example of how you don't need beautiful architecture to create a dense vibrant urban scene.
 
Is HK the most densed place on earth?

This is a highly debatable point. Wikipedia has a list of the density of cities around the world, and this list keeps changing all the time. Hong Kong SAR, if counted as an independent country, would be the third densest in the world. Neighbouring Macau SAR would be second, and Monaco would be first.

Individual neighbourhoods in Hong Kong have extremely high population densities. Kwun Tong district has a density of 55000 persons/sq km, while the infamous Kowloon Walled City (now demolished) had a density of 1900000 persons/sq km, perhaps the highest population density in human history.
