Case Study Report on Graffiti
Long interesting article about 'The Utrecht graffiti study'.
Apparently:
Research on the extent of spray-painted graffiti in the city of Utrecht revealed that the area covered was about 9,500 square metres in 1996. It would be extremely costly to remove. The cost of a one-off clean-up of the inner city, where an area of 2,288 square metres was covered in graffiti, was estimated at NLG 1,675,000.
The 'Hall of Fame' - The aim of this preventive approach was to prevent illegal graffiti by offering a location where young people would be allowed to spray paint.
It was developed with the active involvement of local writers, especially one highly regarded within the local graffiti subculture;
the size of the wall was much larger, providing a potential canvas of 500 square metres.
