Entering a new era, art is no longer just about creation, expression, display, and communication. It has become a force for change, integrating into contemporary life, participating in industrial development, and promoting social aesthetic education progress. This lecture starts from the relationship between art and cities, focusing on public art and its activities. Through theoretical and case studies, it emphasizes the "co creation" and "symbiosis" between art and cities.
