FAQ About The Role of Graffiti Murals in Urban Regeneration

Can graffiti murals lead to gentrification?

Graffiti murals can sometimes be a catalyst for gentrification, as they enhance the attractiveness of neighborhoods and can increase property values, leading to a rise in the cost of living and displacement of long-term, lower-income residents. It is important for urban planners to balance the benefits of such public art projects with measures to ensure inclusivity and affordability.
