About this listen

What do silo art, classical music at train stations, and a council mural in a quiet suburb have in common? In this episode, Breallyn and Lyndon explore the subtle power of art in public spaces, and how public art and crime prevention have become unlikely partners in shaping the places we live. From revitalised shopping strips to the politics of “beautification,” they unpack how creativity gets used not just to inspire, but to influence.

With a healthy dose of skepticism and a few personal stories, they dive into the murky overlap between community engagement, urban design, and crime prevention strategies.
