This CLUSTER Talk presents the observation and research findings of a one month secondment in Valencia as part of the Transmaking program, funded by the European Union, by Salma Elbasty and Youssra Zakaria, both from CLUSTER Cairo. Through this work, they study some urban elements in Valencia and test the notion of using street art and public parks as tools to understand neighborhoods. They test three neighborhoods in Valencia, each with a different identity, one being touristic, another gentrified, and the third residential, and measure the ability of their current street art and public parks to convey the same information about the neighborhood that is present through research on their current state.
