Mural is a public art and can also be an advertising medium in which it can draw
attention of the public. Often the intent is to instil to local people about their culture and
heritage. Murals can create important conversations and expand thought. They can
create dialogue around a subject or community issue through what they depict.

is brought to the public arena.

Aesthetics
through the visual aesthetic, murals promote a sense of identity, belonging,
attachment, welcoming and openness, and strengthen community identification
to place
in creative placemaking, public, private, not-for-profit and community sectors
partner to strategically shape the physical and social character of a
neighbourhood around arts and cultural activities
creative placemaking initiatives revolve around public art, and murals in particular
are highly effective tools because of their physical integration intro their
environment, and their many aesthetic benefits
murals create a tangible sense of place, destination, resulting in increased foot
traffic while adding color, vibrancy and character to urban environment. Murals
contrast the negative mental health effects of concrete and asphalt
while some placemaking initiative have raised concerns about advancing
gentrification, by centering equity as a core value and integrating community
stakeholder input and participation into the process, the opposite outcome can be
emphasized and achieved. Recent studies, in fact, have linked arts and culture
to equitable development.
Public Safety
murals are examples of the controversial “broken windows” theory in reverse --
enhancing public safety by creating a feeling that a location is cared for, which in
turn makes crimes of opportunity -- such as vandalism, illegal dumping, drug
use, an robbery -- less likely
for example, murals which address gun violence humanize, rather than
dehumanize, victims, creating emotional resonance rather than numbing
emotions
Abatement
murals can affect tag mitigation, and deter tag recidivism. In addition to a
beautification advantage over simple abatement --- murals are simply more
attractive to look at than blank walls – they can also offer significant long-term
cost savings in vandalism hotspots and generally require only minor maintenance
when best practice methods (such as clear-coating) are employed
Youth development
mural initiatives have been used in many cities to promote youth development
and youth-led programs
murals have also been used in the development of youth-oriented curricula in
education
Messaging/Social Consciousness/Equity
murals can also promote equitable outcomes for historically-underserved or
disadvantaged populations
Blight Mitigation
murals transform blighted areas in urban cities, and are relatively inexpensive
method of urban redevelopment which are particularly effective in blighted areas,
especially those in the inner city. This, in turn, helps maintain property values
while also deterring crime, such as illegal dumping and drug use. Murals can
also be combined with streetscaping projects
