Description: Since declaring bankruptcy, the city of Detroit has noticed and influx of visitors taking part in various tours of an estimated 78,000 abandoned buildings. However for the residents of Detroit, the blight is just part of the landscape. An estimated fifth of the cars driving through some of the most affluent neighborhoods are now comprised of urban explorers who are both gawking at the ruins and learning about the city’s history. Some city officials call the blight a cancer on the city and are taking measures to demolish or repurpose the dilapidated structures while others are capitalizing on the “ruin porn” phenomenon.
