What causes people to abandon an entire settlement, town, or even a large city? Here are a few amazing examples from the locations like the USA, Russia, Italy, Taiwan and the Ukraine. Some of these were mysteriously deserted, while others were abandoned due to catastrophic circumstances.
I have no idea why, but I am fascinated to see these places completely desserted. I sit looking at these images imagining a bustling community. Yet, now they are empty. Dead to the world. Ghost towns.
The very sites that got me thinking on this subject:
English Russia: Lost City of Chernobyl
Lands of America: Ghost Towns of the American West
Web Urbanist: 7 Deserted Wonders of the (Post)Modern World
Electro Plankton: The Abandoned City of San Zhi [Part 2]
