What can public art do for a community? How can city governments and others that create public art develop projects that build community and engage civil society?
Creating Civic Engagement in Urban Public Art addresses these and other critical questions. It demonstrates how public art can build community unity, identity and cohesiveness.
The focus of this original work is how cities engage their citizens through public art. What has been successful and what has failed? Through case studies of cities that have public art programs - some successful at citizen engagement others less so – the reader will learn how to design public art programs that build community.
