As dawn breaks over a city adorned with vibrant murals and striking graffiti, one might pause to ponder what this explosion of color truly costs. This is not an examination into the monetary value or aesthetic worth; this is an analysis on energy—the true price we pay for the thriving street art scene.
Fashion Trend
Street art has unexpectedly morphed into a major trendsetter in global fashion. Designers have been incorporating iconic graffiti designs and styles into their collections, transposing walls’ rebellious spirit onto fabric.

However, urban planning departments are grappling with issues ranging from illegal wall paintings impacting public properties’ appearance to substantial cleanup efforts requiring valuable resources.
