Frontier Myanmar: Solitude in the city: A new alleyway renovation project

“I’m really happy to live on this street,” said Ma Lone Lone, whose house backs onto the alley. She said she had been proud to be involved in many aspects of the project’s development, including helping artists to paint the walls, as well as to clean the street.

“It’s so much better than it was before. Then, there was rubbish everywhere, rats and mosquitoes,” she said. “I would like to see more spaces like this in Yangon.”
