Why are cities abandoned? Natural disasters, sometimes, like Mt. Vesuvius blowing its top and destroying Pompeii. Or sometimes war, as in the rape and sack of Vijaynagar. Or sometimes nuclear fallout, as in Chernobyl. This link contains images of cities which have fallen by the wayside for myriad reasons, including some as quotidian as jobs simply having moved away. But whatever be those reasons, human efforts being falling into abandonment is always painful to see.
