Suburban brutality
Spain's real estate bubble burst in 2008 and left many empty lots like the one in the pic, as well as entire ghost (unfinished) towns.
Some of these towns are now starting to see communities grown in them but in my opinion bringing soul to "inorganic" spaces is not an easy task. This article tells the story of Valdeluz, a Madrid suburb:

On the flip side, photographer Markel Redondo documented this ghost town phenomenon first in 2010-2012 and again in 2018. His work can be seen here and proves there are still many completely abandoned urban developments scattered around the country:
