The photo to the left and below it are of Park Hill, Sheffield. Although the buildings and the place itself aren't really what I'm looking for, there are little details I can reference to. For instance the boarded up windows or the way no surface is completely clean and everything is deteriorating.
The other two photos are of Detroit and Baltimore. These have more of the elements I'm looking for in the world I'm creating. The photos I've posted (and the others I've collected) show kind of deteriorated, neglected parts of a city, like Park Hill. Unlike Park Hill these places are obviously a part of a much larger city and not cut off. You can see the whole city blending in around these parts of the city. The photo of Detroit I've posted is a bit extreme in it's deterioration but I can always clean it up a bit.
The reason Baltimore came to mind is because it's the setting of the TV show The Wire. In the show Baltimore is portrayed as a city with a lot of crime and corruption. The poorest parts of the city and the main hub of crime is referred to as 'The Projects' This will be my main reference place for the setting of my story, especially the parts with the fairies in the play who now constitute the criminal underworld in my adaption.
