Urban planners address the issue of public art in their designs in several ways, including:
1. Incorporating public art into the design process: Urban planners identify spaces that are suitable for public art and work with artists to create designs that complement the surrounding environment.
2. Creating public art policies: Urban planners develop public art policies that outline the guidelines and requirements for the development of public art within the city. These policies often include information on the selection process for artists, the types of art allowed, and funding mechanisms.
3. Collaborating with artists and community members: Urban planners work with artists and community members to identify locations for public art and to ensure that the artwork reflects the values and characteristics of the community.
4. Ensuring accessibility and safety: Urban planners ensure that public art installations are accessible to the public and safe to view. They also work with artists to ensure that their installations do not pose any hazards to the public.
5. Engaging in ongoing maintenance: Urban planners ensure that public art installations are properly maintained and preserved over time to ensure their continued appeal and significance.
