Plenty of cities around the world are dense with graffiti, but few have been as strategic with their street art as Miami, nicknamed “the 305” in reference to its area code. Starting 2004, real estate developer Tony Goldman invested $35 million in abandoned and unused buildings in Wynwood, a former industrial zone, with the intention of turning the area into a hub for hipsters and artists. The old warehouses and factories are now home to more than 50 galleries as well as cafes and restaurants, and since the buildings were bought with private funds, many exteriors serve as canvases – exceptions in a city where graffiti is otherwise illegal.
