Art in Public Space, Ecatepec, Mexico.

In Ecatepec one of Mexico’s most dangerous municipalities located half an hour from Mexico City a street art project was initiated along with other upgrading activities such as the implementation of a cable car transport system. The street art project included painting 50 walls within the municipality's public space. Local artists in cooperation with various famous international artists such as Guido Van Helten, John Pugh, David Flores, Teddy Kelly and Kenta Torii painted the walls together. The project intends through public art to rehabilitate the municipality, to attract tourism, to generate job opportunities and to create a feeling of pride and belonging among residents. #streetart #publicspace #publicart #socialcohesion#upgrading #pride #crime #mexicable #citylife#cityplanning #urbanmanagement #city_explore#cityexplorations #ecatepec #mexico #northamerica
