/r/UrbanHell
A photography subreddit of all the hideous places human beings built or inhabit. Come here for aesthetic appreciation of the darker side of the cities, towns, and villages in our shared world. We welcome any photos which show either ugliness, or a problem in urban development. Rural and suburban hell are also allowed.
A photo subreddit for all the hideous places humans have built OR inhabit: dilapidated cities and suburbs, overpopulated megalopolises, abandoned or miserably poor villages, dirty and unkept neighborhoods, collapsing industrial sites, tasteless monuments, non-elegant decay, absurd architectural failures, etc. This subreddit is basically the exact opposite of /r/CityPorn, /r/VillagePorn, /r/ArchitecturePorn and /r/EarthPorn. We welcome any photos which show ugliness, or problems in urban development.
Are you mad about this subreddit "going to shit" and things not being "true UrbanHell"? Please read this
Rules:
Photos should be of human-built buildings, places, and environments. It should be like a landscape photo. Do not post interiors of buildings, portraits of humans, or extreme close up shots. There can be people and animals in the photos, but the environment they're in must be the main focus.
Your photo must show either ugliness or some problem of urban development.
Make sure your picture is of decent quality. Low resolution photos or photos where it's hard to see what's going on may be removed.
We do not tolerate racism, bigotry, or anything of its kind. Violations of this rule can and will lead to a ban.
We require that all people be civil in the comments.
Tips
You are allowed to post static images and albums of images. Please do not post videos.
Try to include the location in the title, and the resolution in [brackets]. If the image is not your own, try to include the photographer's name and link to a source.
If you're not posting OC, search the subreddit to check for reposts.

This freeway not only has eleven lanes for each direction but it also destroys the river ecosystem
That's Marginal Tietê in São Paulo, Brazil, the largest city in the world outside of Asia. I dare say it's probably the road with the most lanes in the world. I've never seen any other freeway with more lanes, and I think it beats Ontario's King highway and also those crazy highways in Texas, because 11 for each direction totals 22. However, it doesn't look that bad because there's green spaces between some tracks and there's that huge river, so it doesn't look that large nor urban-hellish
