Several urban paint jobs have shown that using only one color isn’t that bad at all. Launched in August, 2011, the Green Square project is a colorful 1,000 square meters intervention by Sadovský Architects that aims to spice up an ugly bus station in the Slovakian capital Bratislava. In the Netherlands, artist Henk Hofstra painted a 1-kilometer long street in Drachten blue to symbolize a river. Florentijn Hofman created a similar artwork in Schiedam, a suburb of Rotterdam, where he painted an entire street yellow.

The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is, I want to argue, one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights
