Abstract

[In October 2013, the Tour Paris 13 (‘Paris 13 Tower’) street art exhibition took place inside a residential building about to be demolished and located in the heart of the urban redevelopment program named Zone d’Aménagement Concerté Paris Rive Gauche (‘Mixed Development Zone of Paris Rive Gauche’) within the 13th district of Paris. Using this case study, this chapter aims to provide a better understanding of the way art, and more specifically legal street art, impacts areas undergoing changes. What does this new form of artistic collaboration reveal about how cities are made today? What conception of the urban project does it give rise to, and how does it contribute to the transformation of the stakeholders’ network? Does it promote an economic attraction? And if so, to what extent? To answer these questions, I will first describe the frameworks that lie at the crossroads between legal street art and urban projects. Next, after presenting the situation of the Paris 13 Tower exhibition within the 13th district and the set-up of the event, I will examine the impacts of this art event and its diverse manifestations on the broader urban redevelopment scheme, and on the district’s attractiveness. In conclusion, I will engage in a broader reflection about the new urban dynamics generated by this type of event, and on how street art contributes in an ambivalent way to the broader processes of urban transformations.]
