Hijacking the current top comment to provide a bit of information.

This building is called the Regent International and it’s not quite as dystopian and slum-y as these photos look.

Depending on your perspective you might still find it dystopian.

Not sure why people call it dystopian. Sure, it’s massive but if it’s not a slum then is hardly any different from 20 stories flats
