I think the world could have done fine with 26000m2 of true autonomy there. The more I learn about it today, the more I respect it.

A hive of dream it was for those who made it theirs. But, it was also a place of extreme violent and insanitary. Since they didn’t get any govt fundings, they would have to make do improvise and built from the ground with little resources in the beginning. I cannot imagine living there. Anyway, the city was gone and the redevelopment of the district starts in a few months…
