As everybody can see, as our towns grow more crowded, there is a dire need to deal with more and more environmental issues. One issue that is raised time and again is the problem of unsightly backlanes which remains a big challenge for regulatory authorities. Whilst walking through a once isolated backlane in Puchong Jaya recently, I was taken by the splash of bright colours from a wall mural. It really surprised me that a creative piece like that had such a big impact on the surrounding environment. In this context, backlane projects in my opinion have lots of potential to alter its negative perception as being a dumping ground.
