The Art of the Eco-City
The intention of this report is to illustrate a range of possibilities for engaging artists in the project of making an Eco-City.
Carbon Arts prepared this report for the City of Melbourne with a view to advising on how the arts can play a greater role in achieving the sustainability goals of the city as laid out in the Eco-City Melbourne vision. The report provides case studies on urban art and sustainability by leading international artists, curators and city arts managers. It draws on interviews and the literature to evaluate existing approaches and provide strategic recommendations for program elements essential to facilitate art programs that engage the community in sustainability.
