No matter how breathtakingly beautiful a community or neighbourhood appears, there are those places that are crying out for some attention. Often these forgotten disused places can be transformed and activated into vibrant urban spaces, supplementing the experience of visitors and creating unique vantage points. A little clean up, some street furniture, some art on the walls and some creative lighting can almost magically create a focal point in what was otherwise an eyesore and likely safety problem.
Communities around the world use murals to initiate these changes. Back alleys become pop up games places, coffee stops, meeting places.
