Top Ten Worst Cities In the World

The Top Ten
Hackensack

Hackensack Bergen County Court House is the center of the most corrupt local, County and State domestic and international terror, organized crime and State malfeasance and cruelty in the entire world. The worst most corrupt cruel and malicious city and people ever seen. So many suffering praying for the day this evil is removed from the world. Please pray with us that God will help all the people suffering from this corruption and malevolence and pray for all the stolen children and pray that we will be delivered from evil.

Mumbai Mumbai is the capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra. Mumbai lies on the Konkan coast on the west coast of India and has a deep natural harbour. In 2008, Mumbai was named an alpha world city. It has the highest number of millionaires and billionaires among all cities in India. Mumbai is home... read more

Why? Why? Why? It is the financial capital of India..! It comes 1st in Worst cities list and comes 9th position in most powerful cities. Not at all satisfied with this list. Love to Mumbai!

I am living in Mumbai for 3 years. It has many shopping malls, buildings or it could be worst for its rain, garbage and crime but still I say its best in India.

I'm surprised Mumbai wasn't voted the number 1 best city because all the idiots in there that think that Mumbai is good when it is a dump

Dhaka Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is a bustling city with a mix of modern and traditional influences. The city's historical sites include Lalbagh Fort and Ahsan Manzil. Dhaka is known for its vibrant markets, like Shankhari Bazar and New Market, offering a variety of goods. The Sadarghat river port... read more

Is it me or is this list just bad. Has anyone ever heard of San Pedro Sula? It is in Honduras and is in the middle of the drug trade between the USA and South America. There is a huge gang war going on, and they kill civilians all the time. Sure some of these cities are poor, dirty, and war stricken but not only is San Pedro Sula dirty and poor, with the GDP per capita 2,300 USD, but it also has over 3 murders AN HOUR. This place is seriously dangerous and on interviews people who have interviewed gang members have been told that if they walk around at night, they will probably die. Look up some documentaries on San Pedro Sula, and then see if your mind has changed.

Detroit Detroit is the largest and most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan. Located across from Windsor, Ontario, Canada on the Detroit River, Detroit had an estimated population of 672,662 in 2018.

Look, maybe not technically as bad as Nairobi Kenya or some other third world hell, but Detroit doesn't have an excuse. Every other city on this list (Besides London, which objectively can't be on the list) can blame war, or horrible poverty, or bad infrastructure for its inability to be a halfway descent city. Detroit though, used to be a world class city, perhaps the quintessential American city, where you could put in an honest days work and get a house with a white picket fence and 2.3 kids. Now it's a terrible place, with burnt out houses and ruined buildings. If I could sum up Detroit with one word it would be shame.

Karachi

Are you kidding me? Only because Pakistan has bomb blasts once in a while doesn't make it the 'Terrorist Hub'. Just like going out doesn't make you bad person and praying doesn't make you a good person.

Ridiculous karachi is not worst city. It has everything which a beautiful should have. Don't label it one of worst city we are best and we are Asian Tigers.

Today it so much hot in Karachi its 55 degree and over thousand people died with hot because of no electric powers

Pyongyang Pyongyang or P'yŏngyang (평양시) is the capital and largest city of North Korea, or the Democratic People’s Republic Of Korea.

Everything you do could end you up in prison. The people are brainwashed. If you go there and your from South Korea, America or Japan, you will probably be tortured. plus horrid weather, freezing winters and hot, wet summers

Although it houses the largest stadium and hotel (I think) in the world, it's the capital of one of two countries with little GDP, revenue and a balanced economy (Somalia being second).

See that big pyramid in the center of that photo? It's been an empty shell since it was built 30 years ago.

Mogadishu

Even before the war, the city was a hellhole, mainly because the city was the center of tyranny and oppression in Somalia

The heart of a stateless part of Africa.

Gary

Gary Indiana isn't the worst city in the world but definitely one of the worst in the U.S. some parts of the city are completely abandoned and full of trash. It also has a very high murder rate. Creepy place.

Indiana is best for its races. It's a peaceful place.

Napoli

Napoli is a horrible city, like nearly always in Italy.

Dirty, smelling bad, dark, polluted, chaotic, insecure, low style, like ruin, destroyed and Italian people do not speak anything else than Italian, slacker, impolite, lazy, arrogant, rude, they are always trying to rip you off.

The hotels are old and expensive, that everywhere in Italy, roads are dangerous.

Avoid this old fashion country.

I vote Napoli, but my vote can extend to all Italian cities. Every italian city, from north to south is in the same, pitiful conditions. Dirt, garbage in the streets, flock of people with no apparent job to crowd the streets, pick pockets and criminals everywhere, no public services... its is a scenario you can find in every city of Italy.

Nairobi

Nairobi is such a beautiful city with great scenarios. Everything is so expensive from food to hotel to bad traffic. City police will let loose a serial killer for cheap bribe. Politicians are to blame for putting Nairobi in this position.

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE VISITED IT doesn't MEAN ITS BAD. Its not perfect, corruption is there but it's a good place.

Horrible am I right? This place is full of robbers. If you speak English there they will steal your stuff

The Newcomers

? Hyesan

A North Korean city that is even worse than Pyongyang. This is the reasons why a lot of north korean defectors such as Yeonmi Park and Hyeonseo Lee escaped.

? Havana Havana is the capital city, largest city, province, major port, and leading commercial center of Cuba.

The capital city of Cuba is under constant struggle due to nearly 90% of the population being in extreme poverty and there being a severe shortage of basic necessities such as food, water, medicine and fuel. It also has diseases, deteriorated urban areas, malnutrition, famine, deforestation and poor sanitation which affect quality of life along with the expensive housing, pollution from the tobacco industry, power plants and old cars which cause the air to smell like chemicals and congested traffic commutes. They have even asked the United Nations to help due to the the living conditions which are a human rights violation on it's own.

The Contenders
Phnom Penh
Caracas

This should number 1. It’s one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Plus it was even ranked the murder capital of the world

Very poor and awful city due to maduros regime just a cappy 3rd world city

Norilsk

The normal evening landscape in Norilsk is similar to the landscapes you see in post-apocalyptic doomsday horror films. The pollution is terrible

Just like every small russian town it's horrible

Port Au Prince
Juba
Milan Milan, located in northern Italy, is a global fashion and design capital. The city's stunning Gothic cathedral, the Duomo, is a masterpiece of architecture. Milan is also home to world-renowned artworks like Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper." The Teatro alla Scala is one of the most famous opera... read more

Dark, dirty, no green place, public transports absent, nasty and dowdy population, flats to rent or buy are extremely old-fashioned and expensive and difficult to practice a high level job there if you are not Italian, but this problem is everywhere in Italy they refuse a foreigner to have a higher post than them. So difficult to be a manager there, and Italians are extremely shiftless ans unpredictable, they are always right and never in time.

Arrogant people are living in this dark and dirty city without any charm.

Omaha

Ummm ok
Omaha is one of the cleanest, prosperous and economically sound cities in America's Midwest. Someone put this on as a joke because to some it may be a little boring.

Why is Omaha on this list. This is a great place to live in the Midwest.

Peyton Manning would have to disagree with this being on the list.

Jakarta Jakarta is the capital and largest city of Indonesia, situated on the northwestern coast of the island of Java. Known for its skyscrapers, modern infrastructure, and a myriad of shopping malls, the city serves as Indonesia's economic, political, and cultural hub. Due to its strategic location, Jakarta... read more

Jakarta is the worst city in Southeast Asia and even Indonesia. It's very unplanned, the skyline is ugly because the villages with those ugly red roofs ruined it. Traffic and pollution is the worst on the planet. Worst governor and mayor in racist Ahok. Also, very hot as hell.

It's so polluted and very very very dirty! Traffic jam at Jakarta is the WORST on the earth! This city is the WORST CITY ever in the WORLD! Jakarta is very very very CROWDED and DISGUSTING!

City itself is messy and disorganised.. how can this be the CAPITAL of a COUNTRY

Manila The capital city of the Philippines, Manila is located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay. It is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, with a rich history influenced by various cultures including Spanish, American, and indigenous influences. As a center for commerce, education, and... read more

1) Smog & Pollution = That's why a majority of the population have asthma. Going outdoors means putting on a mask, otherwise enjoy the carbon monoxide and damage to your lungs.

2) Traffic = Drivers and road officials have lack of discipline or no discipline at all. Quezon City to Makati is roughly 17km or 10.5 miles. In the USA, 10 miles is an average of 20-30 mins. But in this city that 10 miles one way is 1.5 to 2 hrs. So that's a total of 3-4 hours on the road. 3-4 hours trip in the US equates to driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and that's around 300 miles already.

3) Road Rules = There are no road rules. It's every man for himself. Trucks, buses, cars, SUVs, PUVs (public utility vehicles), tricycles, motorcyclists and pedestrians fight for space regardless of right of way. It's a jungle out there. Think of it as the animal kingdom and insects cross your path without warning. Well, actually there is an alert, which means feel free to honk your horn at all times.

4) Corruption = For the many decades, nothing has changed in this 3rd world country. It only shifts power and access. Maybe the new president (Duterte) can do something. If you're surrounded with snakes and wolves in your own backyard, how much can you actually get done without people jeopardizing your well intentions.

5) Trash = You see garbage everywhere. That means cockroaches, flies, ants and maggots roam freely. Add some "eue de toilet" or raw sewage scent to complete your experience. People don't clean up after themselves, they throw waste everywhere. People who pick up trash don't even wear gloves. They do pick up garbage but the question is, where do they send them off to? The Philippines is one of the dumping site of many countries. Nations send off large shipping containers to dump off their trash. I wonder what new disease or vius has come up after mutating with international waste.

6) Flash Floods = Infrastructure is very poor in this city,... more

Y is Islamabad here. It is pretty safe here. I've been living here for 9 years

Hamhung

Another horrible city in north Korea

London London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames in the south eastern part of the island of Great Britain, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. London is one of the world's most important global cities. It exerts considerable... read more

London is now called 3rd world Londonistan, courtesy of Islamist mayor Sadiq Khan and his Labour Party cronies. The city is made of segregated homogeneous ghettos, where the English identities are dead and replaced by racial tensions, Crime (acid attacks on the rise), high taxes, rise in gang culture, more degenerate selfie scumbags on binge on junk food and reality T.V. shows while taking drugs, more mosques than churches, sharia law, halal meat, welfare dependency for the feckless, rubbish public services and corrupt self-serving Labour-run Socialist councils. RIP 20th Century London and before.
