Do cities want to assert control over their public spaces? How much control is there? The lab members Eynat Mendelson-Shwartz and Nir Mualam discussed these issues at the 2021 European Sociological Association Midterm Conference (Online). The talk was part of an exciting session which focused on street art. Lab members explored these issues by referring to the policy of mural art and the ways in which cities actively allow, ignore or reject murals painted in public spaces around the city. The talk summed up years of street art policy research by Eynat Mendelson Shwartz, PhD candidate and active member of the Lab.
