Urban Exploration

Urban Exploration, often abbreviated as Urbex, refers to the exploration of abandoned, forgotten, or off-limits urban locations such as buildings, factories, tunnels, and other structures. Enthusiasts, known as urban explorers, engage in this activity to discover and document the hidden aspects of urban environments, often focusing on places that are neglected or have historical significance. The practice may involve photography and the sharing of experiences through social media or blogs. Urban exploration emphasizes adventure and the thrill of discovering the unknown, while also raising awareness about urban decay and the histories of forgotten places. It often comes with ethical considerations regarding trespassing, safety, and respect for the locations explored.
