Urban decay is the popular term for both the physical and social degeneration of a cities and large towns. It is characterized by depopulation, property abandonment, social problems, crime, and desolate and unfriendly urban landscapes.
Examples of Decay
The car manufacturing sector was the base for Detroit's prosperity and employed the majority of its residents. When this industry began relocating outside of the city, it experienced population loss with associated urban decay, particularly after the 1967 riots. In 1950 the city's population was, according to US census, around 1.85 million; by 2003 this had declined to 911,000, a loss of nearly 940,000 people (52%).

You can pick from a number of cities that are growing quickly in the suburbs and are seeing increases of crime in the inner-city. Look at Atlanta as an example (and I'm not knocking Atlanta)
Washington DC has similar issues.

East St. Louis. I have spoken with many people that used to refer to East St. Louis as a beautiful city. Now you look at it and well, just ask anyone local and they will tell you its a place to avoid if you can.
