Dubai: Dubai Municipality has launched a community initiative to repaint walls affected by random graffiti across the city. The initiative aims to restore visual harmony to public spaces and promote civic engagement.
According to Emirates News Agency, the initiative is being implemented in cooperation with the Nabd Al Emarat team, registered on the Community Development Authority's platform, and volunteers from the Volunteers.ae platform. More than 60 volunteers have joined the effort, helping repaint over 200 walls.
Abdulaziz Al Baloushi, Director of the Building Control Section at Dubai Municipality, stated that a detailed action plan was developed to identify graffiti-affected areas. The plan includes colour matching to ensure seamless repainting that meets high quality standards. This initiative supports the UAE's designation of 2025 as the Year of Community.
Residents and property owners praised the initiative as an important step towards preserving Dubai's urban aesthetics. Volunteers noted that the initiative not only enhances the city's appearance but also fosters a culture of community involvement and social responsibility.
