Street art is a low cost tool for urban regeneration/redevelopment inclusive of all stakeholders of a community or city as it can alter public perceptions and is a separation of art form and crime.
Since urban regeneration is a process and an outcome, street art can be a key driver in urban regeneration/redevelopment. Therefore, I believe street art can successfully assist and encourage urban regeneration of cities, places and communities. This is viewed as physical, economical and social drivers to successfully implement and transform changes to underprivileged places and communities in order to reinvent, rejuvenate, occupy the city, building, urban space and community via adopting new life, improved quality of life, urban beautification, community participation, pedestrian networks, economic advancement and a cultural and lively community/city.
Some prime examples of this is:
- Hoiser Lane / Melbourne, Australia
- PowerHouse / Geelong, Australia
- Rio Cruzeiro Favela Painting project / Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Philly Painting project / Philadelphia, USA
I would like to understand your view to this and even your added information that may assist this idea of street art and urban regeneration. Feel free to add to the list of examples above.
