Peperoni Books : Portraits from above / 2nd Edition
by karlcow
Self-built, informal settlements on the roofs of high-rise buildings are an integral part of Hong Kong’s urban landscape. The rise of rooftop communities is closely linked to the migration history from Chinese Mainland to Hong Kong. With each of China’s tumultuous political movements in the 20th century, like the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, there was a corresponding wave of Mainland Chinese migrating to Hong Kong.

Nokia offering free turn-by-turn navigation on smartphones globally (updated) -- Engadget
by philippej

"In other words, by making the platform more tempting through a robust feature set, Nokia will sell more high-margin smartphones and thus boost the bottom line."
D'un point de vue personnel et en tant qu'utilisateur, j'ai l'impression qu'il était temps que Nokia fasse un geste dans ce sens.

The Prepaid Economy Blog: Traditional moneylending - informal, flexible, trust based and changing fast
by karlcow
In summary, it seems that traditional ways and means which offer speed, flexibility and trust are definitely in danger from their rivals, the microfinance organizations but not that of being pushed out. Instead we find they too are taking on the practices of high volume micro loans to scale and compete with these newcomers.

Metabolic Dark City: Observatory: Design Observer
by karlcow
In 1993, the City of Darkness, or the Walled City of Kowloon, was demolished. To the 35,000 people living in this dense urban slum, the change was the end of a lawless existence. The area was a diplomatic black hole, the model of an anarchist society somehow allowed to grow organically without the aid of any government, existing somewhere outside of both British Hong Kong and China.
The buildings of "Hak Nam" folded into one other in a dense configuration of labyrinthine corridors and seedy brown shacks stacked up 10, 12 and 14 stories high. It was a solid building, 200 x 100 meters, a pulsating anomaly, one of the most densely populated places in the world at the time of its destruction. It was called "the world’s first flexible megastructure, the closest thing to a truly self-regulating, self-sufficient, self determining modern city that has ever been built," "an environment as richly varied and as sensual as anything in the heart of the tropical forest."
