The city council don't have the funding to collect it because of the corruption. The situation in Dhaka is sad and horrible.

If I saw this without the pyramids in the background, I'd tell you it was from an apocalyptic movie.

Noo all the beautiful flowers are gone :(

this proves we CAN do beautiful buildings! So why don't we?

Reddit: Budapest, Hungary, near Kossuth square

As an old communist joke says: "The top of that building has the best view in the city. It's the only place where you don't see it."

Hallelujah it can be done!

I think somebody reversed the photos.

Are you sure you got the photos in the right order?

didn't this pics got interchanged?

Usually it's the other way around.

Usually the other way around

How beautiful!

Wow, that'r rare. Where is it?

this was the original building planned to build here, but the World Wars crossed these plans, and later the communists built that crap because... Glad its gone

This is urban heaven, though. Now time to do it to No. 1 Poultry in London.

Sterile to inviting.

В България ли е?

NICE! USUALLY, "it's" the other way around! *("Usually,"= bldg. on the left takes the place of the bldg. on the right.)

Naw, I'm good.

I built this in age of empires when i was 10 years old :)

I can't even understand the scale of this picture

So….a car park. Quicker to walk

Why are people throwing trash and rocks down onto other people? Isn’t life hard enough?

I've never been to a city so large that the buildings block out the sun. I think I'll keep it that way.

Where do they park?

Oh no! We'll be late for life!

"progress"

I never really have a problem with ugly low cost housing if it does the job it's supposed to do... Making sure a lot less people are homeless or living in shacks

these type of compact apartment townships are becoming quite popular throughout the world

Churches need to pay taxes. No more Dior fancy gowns for priests.

Hell on earth, all those concrete boxes to shut us in.

When I lived in Belgrade, I had a similar view from the bathroom. Maybe some won't understand, but for me it was nice. I knew everone who lived around, it was cosy and safe. The feeling of home, if you thought of asking for toilet paper, I'm sure someone would throw it to you through the window. The outer side od buildngs where the rooms, kitchen and living are, had an open view. Kinda miss it

A friend came back from Dehli and said "We could make it a better place by bombing it (not the people), rebuilding and abolishing the caste system". She's right!

I think the crowd barrier was unnecessary.

Actually this looks amazing at night. But probably only at night ...

How many years before that is all below sea level?

Yes, lets hack down lovely rainforest, who needs orangutans, and sell shitty food. Way better /s FU*K

Some North American cities are slowly becoming like this.

As someone who grew up in a big coal and industry city in between other big coal and industry cities, I can relate and say that those small green spots and the view on industry are not as bad as this picture seems. You get used to it and if you move, you kind of even miss it. It has some weird sense of peace.

Astroturf is just a fancy name for plastic grass.

Yeah, those huge blocks of concrete for housing beats this any day, i feel like...

They are so hardcore, they don't even need a roof.

Modern isn't always necessary

Oh hell no!

At least there's some colour, I suppose.

I think they like white cars...

In the Netherlands it's the other way round. You can get anywhere in a city in 5 minutes by bicycle, but it will take you 30 minutes by car to get there.

Actually a spiral street

Duisburg the ugliest city of Germany? I am German and let me tell you: there are several worse cities
