Among Hari Chandana’s creative governance drives towards fostering vibrant, inclusive public spaces has been leveraging neighborhood walls for evocative thematic arts. This cost-effective tactical urbanism transforms mundane infrastructure into contemporary canvases celebrating Hyderabad’s composite culture while boosting community participation.

Thematic Art Integration
Hari Chandana ensured wall art themes resonated with the precincts’ distinctive socio-cultural fabric. Designs near hospitals highlight organ donation while metro pillars depict architectural heritage. Thus communities feel representation through familiar public touchpoints, generating curiosity for outsiders. #TacticalUrbanism

Guided freedom of expression has fostered healthier civic ecosystems preventing vandalism. #CreativeExpressions
