FROM SUPPLY AND DEMAND, PG. 210: THE TERM “URBAN RENEWAL” IS TYPICALLY USED TO SUGGEST THAT PART OF A CITY THAT HAS BEEN IN DECLINE IS BEING RESTORED. SANCTIONED PUBLIC ART IS SOMETIMES PART OF THIS PROCESS. HOW IRONIC THAT STREET ART IS OFTEN CONSIDERED A SYMPTOM OF A NEIGHBORHOOD IN DECLINE. AS TAXPAYERS, WE ALL OWN THE PUBLIC SPACE, BUT THE GOVERNMENT AND ADVERTISERS FREQUENTLY CONTROL IT. I PREFER TO SEE THE PUBLIC SPACE USED AS A FORUM FOR EXPRESSION. THIS, OF COURSE, HAS TO BE DONE IN A LOGICAL AND RESPECTFUL WAY. GOOD STREET ART, PROPERLY INTEGRATED, ONLY ENHANCES A CITY WITH VISUAL STIMULATION AND A FLOW OF IDEAS. ADVERTISERS, HOWEVER, DON’T WANT ANY COMPETITION. DON’T LET THE ADVERTISERS’ AGENDAS DICTATE HOW YOUR STREETS ARE USED.
