Some cities and the architecture there can make your jaw drop because of how impressive they look. But some others… Well, let's just say your jaw might drop because of a reaction far less positive than that. In the latter, you might be met with dirty streets, overcrowded neighborhoods, and buildings that resemble the set of an apocalypse-based movie more than it does someone’s home.

Today, we’re not focusing on beautiful cities, so if you’re a fan of incredible architecture, you might want to browse this list of architectural marvels instead. But if you’re curious to see what urban hell looks like, you’re in the right place, as we have quite a few pictures of it on today’s list. Scroll down to find them below.

    I would love to understand the why of this - how come this happens, not just in Bangladesh, but plenty of other places in SE Asia. Does anyone know? If nothing else, that rubbish could be burnt to generate heat and then electricity. "Where there's muck, there's brass" and all that.

    Kowloon Walled City was a fascinating place. A population of 1.3MILLION per square Kilometer. It was a lawless slum that must have been absolute hell to live in. the whole place was established as part of the same treaty that Established Hong Kong as a British protectorate. Short version, Kowloon was a weird loophole that neither side owned but it became a major conduit to move goods in and out of Communist China for about 50 years.

    ‘Urban hell’ can come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, it’s buildings that are simply unpleasant to look at, whether old or new. It can also be something that’s surprisingly inconvenient or serves no purpose at all. Oftentimes, it’s also something that requires destroying bits and pieces of nature, which is, in most cases, simply not worth it.

    While ‘Urban hell’ means different things to different people, it usually evokes the same sentiment—a feeling that might make you want to turn your gaze away.

    South Bronx, New York City (1980s). Genuine Smiles Despite All That’s Around Them

    South Bronx, New York City (1980s). Genuine Smiles Despite All That’s Around Them

    YoungCeaser3 Report

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Since whether or not something is an eye sore or eye candy is a highly subjective matter, people’s opinions tend to clash. And they often do when it comes to all sorts of iconic—well-known, for better or worse—buildings in cities all over the world.

    Take the Montparnasse Tower in Paris, France, for instance. While it is hated by many Parisians, in a piece for T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Daniel Libeskind, a well-known architect, artist, professor, and set designer, stood in defense of said tower, not particularly because of its beauty, but because of the idea it represents.

    “Parisians panicked when they saw it, and when they abandoned the tower they also abandoned the idea of a high-density sustainable city. Because they exiled all future high rises to some far neighborhood like La Défense, they were segregating growth,” Libeskind commented to T.

    Talking about the Montparnasse Tower, Libeskind continued to point out that, due to its shrinking capacity, people have no choice but to build good, high-rise buildings that are affordable. “Maybe Tour Montparnasse is not a work of genius, but it signified a notion of what the city of the future will have to be,” he noted.

    As of January 2023, the French capital had just over 2.1 million residents. However, over the same year, it welcomed nearly 29 million visitors, which could make it feel pretty packed.

    If you’re interested in packed cities, Prof. Alasdair Rae of the University of Sheffield has carried out interesting research, delving deeper into the density of populations in countries all over Europe. He located the densest kilometer in each one of them and found that the most densely populated city in Europe is not Paris. It’s… you guessed it, Barcelona.

    According to Rae’s study, the most densely populated kilometer in one of Spain’s main hubs is home to nearly 54,000 people. Second on the list, the French capital houses a little over 52,200 in its most densely populated one square kilometer.

    Following Barcelona and Paris were Szczecin in Poland (nearly 33,000 people per sq. km), Brussels in Belgium (29,100 people), Athens in Greece (just over 28,800 people), and Stockholm in Sweden (with roughly 26,100 people).

    It’s safe to assume that for some people, incredibly densely populated places are the ultimate definition of ‘urban hell’; there are enough pictures on this list to demonstrate why. But if you don’t want to look at such hell any longer, continue with something more attractive in our architecture category or browse these expectations vs. reality: architecture edition pictures for a good giggle.

    This is the USA. I don't know which particular city, but in a way that is irrelevant....because when Eisenhower put the highway system in this happened to many cities. For some reason it just didn't occur to those early highway planners that they could swerve around cities. So many communities were cut in half, creating defacto areas with less access to cultural assets like libraries, parks, government offices, etc...........To be clear, the highways were put in to facilitate the rapid movement of large scale military equipment and personnel. Making car travel easier was of secondary concern.

    In 1949, the government of Los Angeles siezed hundreds of homes here by condemning them and declaring eminent domain, but not for a baseball stadium, but for a newer, government-controlled housing project. Pretty much everyone except the statist mayor hated the idea. After he was thrown out of office, nobody wanted to build the housing project that the neighborhood was destroyed in order to create. The stadium was built ten years later, after paying fair-market prices to buy out some additional homes.

    Toronto is much the same. The encampments get cleared periodically, which does nothing but create an endless cycle of movement from park to street corner to parkette to ravine to vacant lot and back again. Our three levels of government are unable (or rather unwilling) to cooperate on funding effective supports for unhoused people.

    I don't know the street in question, but: Liverpool City Council has, every now and then, done the right thing with this sort of street and offered up the houses for sale a nominal price if you move in and renovate the property. The structure of such houses tends to be solid, but they need insulation, modern heating systems, modern everything added.

    Hmm - could be worse. There are trees around and about, and it looks like a nice idea: one apartment on each floor, nice views, good ventilation. Possibly also: inadequate insulation and protection against damp. But maybe the designers and builders did their jobs properly.

    Mostly New Jersey, actually. The tallest buildings are on the island of Manhattan, and everything below the lowermost eater is Brooklyn. The rest is New Jersey.

    There is nothing wrong with this. Buildings look fine, the canal is clean. I’m not sure how this is failing to gentrify, nor why that’s inherently a problem

    This is not urban? It looks blissfully suburban to me, with tons of space and greenery.

    Lots of places like that in Eastern Europe, but a lot of these places are being renovated, restoring them to their former glory. These are amazing buildings that have (on the whole) survived the test of time, they just need a makeover.
