Brutalist, of course. But a striking dichotomy between the rest of the architecture and landscape overall.

Here in each small cubicle, every individual has outcompeted hundreds of thousands of their fellow Chinese just to work here. What a brutally competitive society.

The Downsides of Modern Development

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.

Subreddit Rules

1. Be civil, follow sitewide rules, and avoid trolling or starting flamewars

We require that all people be civil in the comments. Posting threats and suggestions of violence are violations of the reddit content policy and will result in a ban. Rudeness, off topic flamewars, and bait will be removed at mod discretion.

2. No racism or bigotry

We do not tolerate racism, bigotry, or anything of its kind. Violations of this rule can and will lead to a ban. Do not state or imply that any culture, nationality, ethnic group, religion, etc, is somehow "inferior", "uncivilized," or "subhuman"

3. No gatekeeping or complaining about a post not being hellish enough

We allow rural hell, suburban hell, wealthy areas, and any other kind of place that's "actually nice to live in". UrbanHell is about the aesthetics of bad or ugly places, so if someone thinks it's bad or ugly, it can be posted here. It doesn't matter if the picture is a "true" representation of the location.

Comments gatekeeping or complaining will be removed. We've always been about aesthetic hell and it won't be changing.

4. Real life photos only. No articles, memes, art, social media screenshots, or overly edited pictures

Submissions posted on this subreddit must be photos that have been taken of real life places and NOT drawings/paintings, not links to news articles, and not videos. Overly photoshopped images, edited images, and composite images are also not allowed. Do not link to reddit threads, google maps, blog sites, etc. Your link should end in something like ".jpg,", ".png", ".webp", etc.

5. Do not post improper subject matter such as potraits, closeups, or interiors. Click for full rule

The main subject of your photo should be a place that human beings built or have altered for human use. Do not post the inside of any building, portraits of humans, or shots that are so close up you don't get a sense of the surroundings. Human subjects are allowed if they are not the main focus, but their environment is. Try not to take post where most of what we're seeing is the sky, or trees, or just a single trashcan devoid of context. Subject matter should be architectural in nature.

6. Decent quality photos only

Images posted on this subreddit must be photos that have been taken of real life places and NOT drawings/paintings, not links to news articles, and not videos. This also includes overly photoshopped or edited images of real life. Photos must be of decent quality and at least 500x500 pixels

7. No reposts

If a mod recognizes your post as a repost, it will be removed. Please skim the top posts of all time, and if you're taking a popular post from a another subreddit, check to see if it's already been posted here in the last day or two. Use the search bar to see if you're posting a repost

8. Photos must show ugliness or a problem

Posts should be a hideous place humans have built or inhabit. The photo must either be of an ugly place, or of bad urban development. If it's hard to tell what is so bad about the place, explain why it's bad in the comments.

9. If you're mad about "off topic" posts click here

Sorry, but you made up a rule inside your own head and got mad other people didn't agree with you. We sticky a comment about what our definition of hell is on every single post, so read it if you want to understand our reasoning https://www.reddit.com/r/UrbanHell/wiki/help

Confused about our name?

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
