16 ugliest cities in the world by picture
- According to citiesjournal.com, obviously a subjective list, but because of the pictures, it's maybe doable.
- The hint is a phrase they used to describe the city, as well as the continent its on.
-I removed a few obscure ones that are too specific to guess, Kangbashi, China, Sumqayit, Azerbaijan, La Oroya, Peru, Battle Mountain, Nevada and the Dheisheh refugee camp in Palestine to be exact.

Oceania - "persistently unimpressive blandness" |
Asia - "[biggest hotel] wildly out-of-scale" |
Europe - "worst traffic congestion in Europe, if not the world" |
North America - [The (cityname) Building] sets it on this list |

Europe - "combining the glorious drabness of Stalinist architecture with deadly radiation levels" |
North America - "poster child for urban blight and poor financial planning" |
North America - "The unfiltered rudeness of many residents can seem fascinating" |
Africa - "The city’s glory days are far behind it, and what’s left is an undistinguished collection of worn down buildings, a few camels, and yes, sand." |

Africa - "Piles of uncollected garbage have made the city an unsightly, stinking mess." |
North America - "The town always attracted a certain kind of tourists with its cheap goods and questionable side shows. Lately it has become embroiled in northern [nation]’s drug wars and the nation’s economic problems." |
Asia - "At least 600 factories pour their wastes into the sickly-green waters of the Citarum River, which flows through [city]" |
North America - "About 60 percent of [city] residents live in poverty. Most cram into the tenements, called palomares. The Development Planning Unit at University College, London, describes these as dilapidated old buildings with temporary enlargements. " |

Asia - "A 2006 article in the [cityname] Telegraph newspaper described the cityscape as consisting of roadside urinals, piles of garbage, exhaust fumes and, perhaps worst of all, shopping malls." |
Europe - "It is literally a whole bunch of space, lined by humongous, insanely boring and bland government buildings. Oh yeah, there is also some sort of a triumphal arch there too." |
North America - "Outside of Downtown [cityname], you will find innumerable avenues and boulevards that are just so ugly and so bland you could not tell if this is [cityname] or some random city somewhere." |
Asia - "The city is almost exclusively comprised of Soviet-era apartment complexes, all neat blocks of concrete, arranged in the most boring ways possible. There is the other part of the [cityname] experience, of course, the innumerable smelting plants and other metallurgic operations that provide breath-taking vistas everywhere you look." |

I don't know how Battle Mountain, Nevada has garnered any attention, its just very average. I would more expect a place like East St. Louis if you were to make a list of obscure places.
