Public art and urban regeneration
We live in a global perspective of demographic increase and progressive urbanization, a perspective in which, as the time that people will be able to spend in close contact with nature is increasingly reduced, the theme of the quality of urban planning, architecture and urban art. How can the cities of the future be welcoming and culturally stimulating, not only for the activities that can be carried out there, but for the way in which the spaces are organized, for the quality of the architecture and for the possibility of enjoying public art ? What kind of virtuous relationship should be established between the community, its administrators, urban planning and architecture professionals and artists?
