Ten Steps To A Graffiti-Free City
|
Finding solutions to your cities graffiti issues is not always easy. Of course, budget always plays a role in what can be done. However, budget is not the only factor. Knowing exactly what to do (and also what NOT to do) is equally, or maybe more important than the budget in many cases. The Ten Steps To A Graffiti-Free City Guidebooks were written so that cities will have a roadmap to follow that will ultimately lead to a drastic reduction in graffiti. The systems and strategies that are explained in detail in the Guidebooks have been proven to work in cities both large and small. This webinar will give you an overview of how to wisely spend your cities time, energy and budget in order to start you down the road of becoming graffiti-free.
