Concluding remarks

Murals and public art significantly impact urban environments, influencing community values, politics, inclusion, and social debates. This study highlights their role in shaping cities, provoking discussions on creative freedom, property rights, policy-making, and the right to the city. Through qualitative analysis of murals in Tel Aviv, Littleton, and Detroit, the research demonstrates how these artworks serve as powerful reminders of cultural significance and community identity. The findings underscore the need for further exploration into the perception, regulation, maintenance, and financing of public art to better understand its broader societal implications.
