Urban Exploration, often abbreviated as Urbex, refers to the exploration of man-made structures in urban environments, particularly abandoned buildings, tunnels, factories, and other derelict sites. Enthusiasts, known as urban explorers, seek to discover and document these locations, often capturing photographs and videos of their findings. This activity highlights the significance of urban decay, architecture, and the history of places that have been left behind or repurposed over time. Urban exploration is usually undertaken with a focus on adventure and photography, although it can also involve elements of social commentary and historical preservation. Safety, legality, and respect for the sites visited are important considerations for those engaging in urban exploration.
