▲* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' (anime) - Gringey City is heavily polluted and nearly abandoned due to the over-construction of seemingly automated factories, with barely any people or Pokémon around. The local Muk and Grimer eventually invaded and overran the power plant, shutting off all the electricity in the city.

== Real Life ==
* The real life [[wikipedia:Rust belt|Rust Belt]] and many industrial cities [[Oop North|in there North of England]] are the inspiration for many fictional examples.
▲* The setting of [[Eraserhead]].
▲* Omega in [[Mass Effect 2]].
▲* Is a very possible outcome of many versions of [[SimCity]] , you generally want to avoid placing residential zones next to industrial ones unless you want this to happen.
▲* Subverted in ''Ruined City'' by [[Neville Shute]]; the eponymous city ''used'' to fit the "heavily polluted" part of this trope and wasn't an especially attractive living environment by many standards, but the workers were unionised and the pay and conditions were fairly good. It only became a true ghetto when the Great Depression kicked in and the shipyard went out of business. The protagonist actually notes the lack of pollution, and describes the place as being "clean as a washed corpse".
