Urban Ghosts is a news and media site focussing on urbex, or urban exploration, which refers to the exploring of abandoned places and derelict buildings. In addition to urban art and documentation produced by urban explorers, such as urbex photos, Urban Ghosts also presents articles on the quirkier parts of our hidden cities – weird houses and strange industrial buildings, and the mainstream contemporary art that touches on issues related to urban exploring. Artists featured on Urban Ghosts have produced work about sustainability, exploration, decay and the way we interact with our built environment, and form an important part of urban explorer culture.
