Not every building is as beautiful as the Palace of Versailles. Or blends into its surroundings as well as the Macallan Distillery. On the contrary, there are many structures across the world looking like outcasts that will fall apart during the next storm. In some places, they aren't isolated examples, either — even an entire neighborhood can be an abomination. And you can find them on r/UrbanHell.

It's a photography subreddit of "all the hideous places human beings built or inhabit." The online community invites everyone who wants to explore the darker side of the cities, towns, and villages in our shared world and welcomes any photos which show either ugliness, or a problem in urban development. Rural and suburban nightmares are also allowed.

Below you will find a collection of pics that perfectly describe what this subreddit is all about.

About half of the global population already lives in cities, and by 2050, two-thirds of the world's people are expected to live in urban areas. But as you can see from some of the photos in r/UrbanHell, in cities, two of the most pressing problems facing the world today also come together: poverty and environmental degradation.

Bad urban development isn't just ugly aesthetics. It's also poor air and water quality, insufficient water availability, waste-disposal problems, and high energy consumption, all of which are exacerbated by the increasing population density and demands of urban environments. Strong city planning is essential in managing these and other difficulties as the world's urban areas grow.

Some of the biggest problems caused by urbanization are:

  • Intensive urban growth can lead to greater poverty, with local governments unable to provide services for all people;
  • Concentrated energy use. It leads to greater air pollution with a significant impact on human health;
  • Automobile exhaust produces elevated lead levels in urban air;
  • Large volumes of uncollected waste create multiple health hazards;
  • Urban development can magnify the risk of environmental hazards such as flash flooding;
  • Pollution and physical barriers to root growth promote loss of urban tree cover;
  • Animal populations are inhibited by toxic substances, vehicles, and the loss of habitat and food sources.

Solutions might include:

  • Combat poverty by promoting economic development and job creation;
  • Involve local community in local government;
  • Reduce air pollution by upgrading energy use and alternative transport systems;
  • Create private-public partnerships to provide services such as waste disposal and housing;
  • Plant trees and incorporate the care of city green spaces as a key element in urban planning.

Ultimately, cities can bring us obstacles and opportunities as well as freedom and captivity, and it's up to us to get the most out of them.

Well here in Brazil houses are usually made out of clay bricks, 'cause they're cheaper and it's also a cultural thing. So that makes it hard for houses here to burn up. generally fires here are related with vegetation, wood roofs and inflamable things like gasoline and cooking gas

Mind you: it's all stollen from the public infrastructure. People pay armed thugs (usually former police officers) to provide them with those solutions ("free" power/water/cable TV). If an official car comes anywhere close, it's bullets flying towards them. And in the end of the day, nobody has any idea how much energy/water is used, resulting in massive blackouts all the time. My country is just crazy.

Again context is great. This was done to facilitate troop movements quickly in and out of the capital which proved vital in WWII as the soldiers from Siberia crossed Red Square in the May Day parades and went straight to the front lines to repel the Nazis. The French similarly built huge boulevards in Paris to facilitate troop movements and to keep people from being able to build barricades, which is a French national tradition.

That was last September when much of the state was on fire. I remember that day and have a similar photo of the sky.

I live in Minneapolis. The George Floyd aftermath with all the protestors was deeply unsettling. The day Derek Chauvin was found guilty you could cut the tension in the air with a knife. It was like trying to breathe cotton.

It is a wonderful building and what is missing from this context is Soviet built Moscow has a lot of green space as buffers between buildings, which the current government is developing. Additionally they are seizing the Khrushchev era buildings, displacing families to the suburbs and developing the land into expensive condos. This was a house for workers, which they got for free ( tied to their jobs)

Actually I dont think it's a bad idea. Of course we would all like to place out earthly remains somewhere serene, but if space is limited, this is a better option than lets say a kindergarden/school next to a factory...

That "Dreamland" building is actually a beautiful art-deco cinema. It is a legally protected listed building, and not only that, it's listed at grade II*, which puts it in the top 8 percent of ALL protected buildings in the UK. It's a very fine piece of architecture.
