Thoughts about art, public space, and town planning, can produce a multiplicity of scenes and images. They range from memorable landmarks to less visible reliefs for architectural embellishment. This book explores some valid approaches to the subject and pays tribute to the precarious balance between artistic quality and social consequence and considers what makes for successful relationships between art, urban planning and the daily life of communities. It examines the initial decision making process and such topics as motivation, consultation, funding, marketing, and education.
