AUSTRALIA: Perth – Wolf Lane Urban Art Quarter – Form Public Project 2014 – Graffiti, Streetart & Murals

The Wolf Lane in Perth was originally an unremarkable back alley used primarily for delivery traffic and waste disposal. The first renovations began around 2001, when the city sought to revitalize the lane and better integrate it into the city center.
