New/ Old & Pretty/ Old & abandoned 古くて美しいものと古くて放棄されるもの

These photos are not all from the same city but three, yet what I saw each town was quite similar.
下の写真は３つの市街からですが、どの市にも共通していたのは、メインストリートと観光スポットの華やかさ・すばらしさと、今にも崩れそうな建物、忘れ去られたシャッター街が隣りあわせなことです。もう少し、個々（自分の建物さえ良ければ）ではなく、町全体の景観を気にする考え方があったら違ってくるのかなーと思いました。お国柄なので良し悪しではありませんが。
 

Classy pretty buildings and abandoned nearly collapsing building close to each other. 

I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Just thinking if authority/cities take care of their town as a whole package, and not maintaining only certain popular buildings or streets, it would be prettier.

However, I understand that's not that easy.    

  

 

Some new places have people. and other places are empty.

 

 

Main streets are attractive and modern. 

 

 And one street behind it, things look different.

 Again, I'm not saying it's bad or anything, I thought it was interesting.
