/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.

We're recruiting new moderators! Apply within
This subreddit doesn't take a lot of work, but we really need people who can put in small amounts of time consistently, every single day. It's not very interesting or glamorous, but if you check reddit or this subreddit a lot it should be very light work, a few minutes a couple times a day or 10 minutes a day.
To apply, comment below answering the following questions:
Are you okay with our current style of light moderation and our definition of what "UrbanHell" should allow?
Will you be able to check the subreddit every day and do a tiny amount of work if needed? Will you be polite to users, even ones who are nasty?
How long have you been using r/UrbanHell?
What's your favorite thing about this subreddit?
What is your mod experience, if any? (It's okay if you have none)
Anything else you want me to know? You can use this space to tell me if you speak any other languages besides English, if you have any relevant hobbies/interests relating to photography and urban development, a detail about yourself, or just leave blank.
