Photos: Urban Decay (or Decline) Photos

Photos of urban decay or urban decline. These photos show urban areas that have faced economic decline. These areas are usually characterized by boarded up buildings, trash-littered streets, and infrastructure that is falling into disrepair. I feel passionately about doing something about urban decay, and I would invite you to look and think about the areas facing these problems.
