When we look at towering skyscrapers, we usually enjoy how majestic they make the skyline look. But every structure casts a shadow.

The subreddit 'Urban Hell' is a place where modern concrete jungles are called out for all the chaos and disarray that they entail.

Created back in 2013, this online community now has 1.2 million members, who are regularly sharing pictures of buildings and cities that suggest we're already living in a dystopia.

Whether it's the dirty slums against the shiny downtown in the background, abandoned stadiums, or packed streets under neon lights, is this really the best we humans can do?

    Well, if you have a large amount of people and limitid surface area, up is the only way to go. It's hideous, but I can't think of an alternative that doesn't involve forcibly removing people.

    According to Yan Liu, a professor of geographical information science at the University of Queensland, and Rachel Gallagher, a Ph.D. candidate at the same institution, zoning has been the key tool used by urban planners to influence how our cities grow and change for almost a century.

    "Contemporary zoning truly developed after the Second World War," the researchers wrote. "A combination of large real estate interests and the emerging field of urban planning created low-density, car-centric suburbs."

    Urban plans called for standardized subdivisions and land uses, and engineering of streets and infrastructure.

    Urban development was largely characterized by detached houses in residential suburbs, while large road networks separated these suburbs from commercial and industrial areas of the city.

    However, in the late 1980s, many cities began to introduce planning mechanisms to restrict outward expansion. Changes in zoning allowed for increased density and a mix of land uses—the aim was to encourage redevelopment of existing urban areas.

    Yet, as cities become denser and the traditional suburban "house and garden" is redeveloped, buildings are replacing trees, and settlements become grayer.

    Replacing an existing home with a larger house or with several townhouses typically results in all existing vegetation being stripped from the site.

    Compact city land-use policies and urban forest policies need to work together to ensure that there could be both high-quality built environments and extensive tree cover.

    Experts argue that cities urgently need more strategic identification of small and large lots that are suitable for more intensified development, particularly to reduce the need for the widespread low-level consolidation that threatens tree cover.

    Interestingly enough, there are probably another row of houses behind these ones that were all pissed off when the smaller red-roofed buildings were built too. This is why local government zoning rules need to be in concrete and not influenced by developers throwing huge amounts of money at them.

    At the same time, land-use regulation should ensure that both low-yield and higher-density redevelopment maintain the contribution of private land to the urban forest. Existing and new approaches to achieving this outcome need to be considered, whether that's done through local rules, government programs, or incentive schemes.

    Did the building go up before or after the freeway though? I can't comment on LA but there are some fairly major highways here that had no homes near them 20 years ago, but now they're building housing estates up to the highway boundaries. If someone chooses to develop the land and people buy the houses you can't blame the highway since it already existed.

    Gary , Indiana. A perfect example of what happens when a city's primary industry moves overseas,, In 1970, nearly 1/3 of the city's population worked for U.S. Steel. By 1990, 25,000 had lost their jobs. Over the last 30 years, the population has declined by over 30%, from 100,000 in 1990, to 69,000 in 2020.

    History has no relevance in some parts of the world. In places such as the Middle East there are amazing deserted villages left to collapse as everyone moves into concrete cities with malls and freeways. UK town planners are often bad at thus as well. They turned a town on Cornwall into a concrete modernist hell hole between 1960 and the 1990s. The crime rates have shot up. When are we going to learn that environments impact on behaviours? If sterile functionality is favoured over beauty and nature, you breed vandalism and disconnectedness.

    Okay, we need to clear this up. Those units are for air conditioning. Also, no one lives here year round, and everything is shut down/turned off when not in use. It is used during the days of Hajj, Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah, where the pilgrims must spend a certain amount of nights here in Mina as part of the pilgrimage rituals. Millions of pilgrims come each year, with the numbers only now starting to return to prepandemic figures. All those people need a place to stay in the boundaries of the Mina area, that’s the reason for tight configuration.
