The main article for this category is Urban decay.
Urban decay is a process by which a city or a part of a city falls in to a state of disrepair. Signs of urban decay include population loss, housing stock deterioration and increases in crime.
Urban decay is caused by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the construction of highways and freeways through urban neighborhoods, government lending practices, racism, natural economic cycles and other social factors.
Understanding urban decay, its causes and its history, is key both to repairing broken neighborhoods and preventing future decline.
