"The problems in the exposed residential areas are massive and involve social as well as cultural challenges. Trends and studies show that there can be great and important potential in using the artistic process to form unity, positive experiences and stories in and around the exposed residential areas . On a practical level, art can: • Form a platform for developing social communities. • Develop aesthetic communities as an alternative to negative communities and destructive activities. • Give the participants tools and competence in communicating themselves, their own values, identity, etc. • Create a common platform for the residents of a vulnerable residential area to communicate what they think their local area should stand for and signal to the inside as well as the outside.• Provide residents as well as outsiders with artistic and cultural experiences ​ Art can provide qualitative input into the overall development strategy in relation to local needs and resources and thus function as an alternative to more traditional citizen involvement".
