ChristchurchNZ spent $10,000<br />
commissioning the mural of former<br />
Kiwis coach David Kidwell<br />
before the team’s dismal Rugby<br />
League World Cup campaign.<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
said street art enhanced<br />
streetscapes and buildings,<br />
adding colour and interest, particularly<br />
next to cleared sites or<br />
damaged buildings.<br />
“Experience tells us that, in<br />
general at least, a well-executed<br />
mural will deter tagging vandalism<br />
for a good period of time,<br />
though not indefinitely.”<br />
She said street art, often requested<br />
by community boards,<br />
also engaged local artists,<br />
developed connections in the<br />
community and raised the profile<br />
of street art in Christchurch.<br />
Last month, Hostel World<br />
ranked Christchurch as one of<br />
the 13 best cities in the world<br />
to see “jaw-dropping” street art<br />
