Slumming is a term used to describe the act of visiting, exploring or dwelling in impoverished urban areas. This activity was popularized among middle and upper-class people seeking to experience the gritty reality of urban life. However, referring to one's exploration as "slumming" is considered insensitive and derogatory. Instead, we can use other words such as urban adventuring, exploring impoverished areas, touring low-income neighborhoods, or experiencing urban poverty. Whatever the term used, it is essential to approach these areas with empathy and understanding, recognizing the people who call these places home and the challenges they face daily.
