People On This Group Are Sharing Examples Of ‘Urban Hell’ That Look Like A Dystopian Movie But Are Sadly Real (40 New Pics)

Oh my god.

This isn't even urban...just hell.

Powerful photo

They look like something...else, at first

How a country with the self-understanding of being the world's leader would let this happen is beyond comprehension.

Norilsk was built by Gulag prisoners. Lead mines. The rain there is basically acid. Horrible that anyone still has to live there, such a hopeless place

Such a shocking transformation to what is is now.

why?????

How grim does that look, I will remain out in the countryside.

"where do you live", "Im in the white house with a turret".

I can nearly smell it, eeeew

Romania, as a whole, is a beautiful country, but this is sad

That must have taken some effort to get the trolley up there in the first place.

They all look the same, imagine trying to find your house...

I'm affraid that having this kind of appartment will soon be considered lucky.

Don't particularly like seeing oil platforms in our Oceans either!

At least they got sand traps for free.

And how much does it cost? 2500 per month?

Never thought I would feel bad for a mill, but here we are

Kinda cool photo though.

Ah yeah.. the Soviet Union architecture..

And all because they couldn't follow the basic rules of a box junction - in the UK it is illegal to enter a box junction unless it is clear on the other side and you can be fined if you stop on the yellow hatchings - precisely to stop this kind of problem.

Those balconies look safe, huh?

Dreamland indeed

Most of what you're seeing there is steam from the cooling towers

This is most claustrophobic and depressing photo taken outside I've ever seen.

Sadly, I have never seen a movie or a photo that has inspired me to want to visit India.

It is in the dead centre of town. People are dying to visit it....🥁🥁🥁

You really wouldn't want to live on the ground floor, would you..

Man, the hoarder played tetris a lot as a kid

If you need barbed wire around a school and metal detectors to get it, you should realize it is time for change.

The town from Edward Scissorhands

Totally ghost town... wonder what happened.

Yeah I did, in fact, just went a bit existential and philosophical over this. Bite me. To the photographer seriously enter photography contests

yikes , looks like my depression if it where a building

the noise would drive me insane

As "convenient" as it is, I really dislike Amazon.

"Watch the first step, it's quite high"

That's a great work of brutalist architecture.

I don't see anything wrong with that. This is clearly new estate looking at state of roofing and colour of wood in fences so it's temporarily plain. When people will move in I guarantee there will be bushes and other plants in the gardens. Why fencing you ask? Idk, I personally like my privacy and wouldn't like neighbours to wander around my garden and their dogs sh*t on the grass scaring my kids.

I imagine a high percentage of those people either lost their houses due to medical bills or have mental health problems and no money to pay for medical bills

I just looked this building up and it's made with glass blocks. I have to be honest...I love it. I am a huge fan of glass blocks for reasons I can't fully understand, but to each his own.

you can check out anytime you like...but you may never leave

doesnt look dystopian to me...it looks like something out of a Wes Anderson movie to me. i like it

Ah yes, the infamous "Hotel of Doom"...no thanks!

Financial collapse and poverty are coming to Dubai in the not so distant future, you will be able to pick one of those up for $1

why is there graffiti all over the walls .. and how???

I think these people consider themselves as lucky...

Many parts of Naples are magnificent - some are not. It is unfair to expect Naples to be a vast outdoor museum/gallery.

And I complain about water in my basement. But one of the coolest oldest cities in the U.S.

But the rest of the city looks amazing! Highly recommend visiting when it's possible as it's one of the funnest cities on the planet.

People do this to prevent weeds from growing, apparently. I remember being a child and some people having an old carpet in their garden for that reason (Slovakia, this photo is probably Russia.)

Dominoes!

Cool infrastructure tho.

this is not dystopian. this is privlege

So you think a massive stadium shouldn’t have parking?

Someone correct me, but ain't that the flood canal? To prevent everyones houses from getting submerged?

The town part looks nice.

Whats up with the flying dolphin??

I'm guessing it's on purpose, this being an archive and all?

The thing I find most ineresting about cairo is that, if you arrive by plane, you see the buildings start and think "oh, we are going to land, we are at the city." And then - those buildings just continue. Square mile and square mile of inner city, for a long time.

What name do you give an "architect" with this kind of mind!

looks like any city after a day at work

That's someone's back yard. I wouldn't count that.

You could totally make use of that wall and get a projector
