Revitalization of Toronto City Street Image—Public Art Strategy Intervention Based on Place Sense
This study scrutinizes the revitalization of the sense of place within urban regeneration,with a particular lens on the strategic influence of public art in defining Toronto's urban streetscapes.An in-depth analysis of the interplay between"sense of place"and public art reveals how artistic initiatives bolster community belonging and identity,thereby enhancing the perception of street imagery.The Public Space Index(PSI)assessment model is employed to substantiate the impact of public art on Toronto's street spaces,enriching urban planning with fresh perspectives and empirical support.The research reveals that public art interventions serve beyond mere aesthetic enhancement,they act as catalysts in the reconstitution of urban social and cultural frameworks.Holistic public art strategies,melding aesthetics with functionality,and fostering community engagement alongside cultural identity,are shown to markedly elevate the quality of urban streets.Such strategies offer avant-garde methodologies and theoretical underpinnings for the pursuit of sustainable urban development.
