In this paper we introduce and describe the phenomenon of videogame street art as a specific kind of street art. We consider its materiality and significance, and conceptualize it in the light of a double manifestation of play: the playful appropriation of the city by the artist and the fact that street art encapsulates the act of playing videogames in a visual form. Digital play spills out of ...

Melbourne has an extensive canopy of street trees that provides an important urban amenity and contributes both to human health and wellbeing and as food and habitat for non-human animals. There is some evidence that the composition of Melbourne’s street trees is likely to change as a result of climate change (Kendal et al. 2011).

Streets are large, diverse, and used for several (and possibly conflicting) transport modalities as well as social and cultural activities. Proper planning is essential and requires data. Manually fabricating data that represent streets (street reconstruction) is error-prone and time consuming. Automatising street reconstruction is a challenge because of the diversity, size, and scale of the de...
