The impact of graffiti on urban areas
Introduction
New York, US
London, UK
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong, on the other hand, can be very lenient on graffiti. Graffiti is not used much in Hong Kong but there are still a few artist. Graffiti isn’t as common in this big city because people really don’t show a appeal towards it. Also, people don’t want to break the law. Honk Kong might have a little bit of graffiti here and there but there isn’t as much as the previous cities discussed. The citizens just aren’t attracted to graffiti and haven’t been interested to catch on to this pop culture trend.
For China overall, people found vandalizing the Great Wall of China with graffiti can see fines from $30 to $60 and the artists will be “ publicly shamed”. These fines aren’t really or as big as the consequences in London or New York. China has had harsh laws like the one child law and the consequences were very brutal. Also, the article mentioned “ the heavy hand of teachers” and this can be assumed that adolescents partaking in graffiti can be abused by teachers so they choose to abide by the law.
