ABSTRACT

This paper examines the significant role of public art in urban regeneration through various case studies from cities around the globe. By analyzing the incorporation of public art in large-scale urban redevelopment projects, we explore how these artistic interventions contribute to the creation of a sense of place, attract visitors, and enhance community engagement. The paper delves into the theoretical framework underpinning public art in urban settings, discusses the methodology used to select and analyze the case studies, and presents detailed examples from diverse geographical locations. The findings underscore the transformative power of public art in revitalizing urban spaces, fostering social cohesion, and stimulating economic activity. The paper concludes with reflections on the future directions of public art in urban regeneration, emphasizing the need for sustainable and community-oriented approaches.
