| dc.description.abstract | Public art has evolved from static beautification efforts to dynamic, participatory interventions that shape the physical, social, and cultural landscapes of urban environments. This paper examines the multifaceted role of public art in urban development, from its historical roots in civic beautification to its contemporary functions in community engagement, economic revitalization, cultural expression, environmental sustainability, and technological innovation. By analyzing landmark programs, evolving definitions, and the integration of public art in planning frameworks, this study highlights how public art serves not only as a visual enhancement but also as a catalyst for dialogue, identity formation, and inclusive development. The paper concludes by recognizing public art as a transformative force in creating resilient, vibrant, and meaningful urban spaces. | |
