Routledge Art, Space and the City - Public Art Book

Explore the connection between public art and urban development in Art, Space and the City: Public Art and Urban Futures. This Routledge publication examines how art functions outside of museums and galleries, looking at the management and mediation of works in public spaces. It connects the concept of the livable city with user-centered urban planning and design strategies. By bringing together different fields, this book offers a way to study how art and urban environments are socially produced. It applies perspectives from art criticism, urban design, urban sociology, geography, and critical theory to look at the practice of art for urban public spaces. This resource is designed for those interested in how art shapes the cities we live in and how urban design influences the way we experience public works.
