“…Adding plants along narrow streets, making murals to cover plain walls, painting old chairs for using them in a gathering space, turning unused spaces into a public hall and a dump site into a neat parking space, all these actions achieve their major impact by improving deprived neighbourhoods. This finding is in line with several studies which found an increased aesthetic value to spaces through place-making in informal settlements (Hernández Bonilla, 2013; Putra, 2018). The interventions provided improvements for the attraction and perception of spaces, which can be labelled here as principally of aesthetic value, as they did not interfere significantly in the layout of space or the built environment.…”

Nem újkeletűek azok a megállapítások, miszerint azok a parkok, amelyek nem a megfelelő helyen épültek, nem tükrözik az adott városrész társadalmi dinamikáját, vagy veszélyt jelentenek a közbiztonságra, használaton kívülre vannak ítélve (Moore & Jones, 1982).…”
