Based on his experience of creation and teaching, Professor Yang introduced two public art projects, the "Jiu Qiang" (nine wall) in Hangzhou and "Kuan Alley and Zhai Alley"(Wide and narrow alley) in Chengdu. Professor Yang pointed out: "The urbanization process has the characteristics of the city renewal and historical area regeneration,. So my works are all about historical area regeneration. When the artists of my generation are involved in public art projects, we always want to put meaning and ideology in the works." The reason why we are doing this is to show full respect for the connections between art and urban space, the public, the local culture and independent spirit of artists.
