'Pripyat'
Pripyat, Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine, September 2007

The view from the top of a 16-storey apartment block over the abandoned city of Pripyat. The roads and spaces between buildings are now quite heavily forested and overgrown.

Unlike Chernobyl, which was an old town, Pripyat was a new city, constructed to house the nuclear plant's workforce. It was considered very successful, and many other late-Soviet urban plans followed Pripyat's layout.
