What is the purpose of street art? Is it an act of social protest? Perhaps an opportunity for people to stop their busy daily routine and reflect on life itself? Or did governments succeed in co-opting street artists into their urban growth machine?

Where does street art meet the city and its decision makers? And what are the challenges that street artists face when working in the built environment?

As part of the Lab's documentary-film events, and in collaboration with Israel's Planners Association, members of the Planning Policy Lab sought to answer these questions with the help of interesting street artists who reflected about their work.
