Teufelsberg, Berlin, Germany
Teufelsberg was once used as a listening station during the Cold War. The station lies on top of a 262 foot hill named Devil’s Mountain. It was built by the NSA in order to listen in on East Berlin, but once the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, it was abandoned. Now it is overrun and completely covered in graffiti.

Kangbashi New Area was meant to be a 130 square mile residential community area that was intended to house about 1 million people. It was built in 2003, but the outrageously expensive apartments were difficult to fill, and so the whole project was abandoned. The area can still be visited today, and many of the art installations and buildings are still intact.
