So for a while there was a giant walled city in Hong Kong and no law or government ever goes there and it was full of secret illegal noodle factories. And some Germans did a documentary.
Part 1:
They demolished this thing in the early 90s. But here, have this:

Funny, I was just reading about the Walled City two nights ago. I also read about what Justin said and that Nolan based some of Gotham City on this place. This thing is amazing. Some scenes from JCVD's Bloodsport were shot here too.

I read that this is what they based the rougher parts of Gotham on in Batman Begins.
And this is what every city is going to look like in a hundred years.
