Nördlingen is a town in the Donau-Ries district, in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany. It was built in a 15 million year old & 25 km diameter wide impact crater - the Nördlinger Ries - of a meteorite which hit with an estimated speed of 70,000 km/h, and left the area riddled with an estimated 72,000 tons of micro-diamonds.

A developers dream city....no codes or authority to get in the way..

Kowloon, Hong Kong: Before its demolition in 1994, Kowloon was the most densely-populated city on earth, with almost 50,000 people living in a city 6.5 acres in size. The town was founded by the Chinese military sometime in the 17th century as a local fort and "abandoned" by local authorities in 1950. The city became a haven for the infamous crime syndicate - the "Triads." Since the city had no real authorities, residents built their houses on-top of others with no adherence to any safety codes.
