I have a feeling that the ugliest city in the world is a mid-sized city somewhere in the the former Soviet bloc. Somewhere without enough history to have any beautiful old buildings and filled with bland/decaying communist construction.

You've got both right there! Prettiest from a distance, but pretty ugly the closer you get. The world's greatest skyline, but you need to be on a boat to appreciate it because the streets are concrete canyons.
Still the coolest city in the world, though. |
