The Beautify my neighborhood project consists primarily of the urban beautification of Ahuntsic-Cartierville through murals on public and private property. Murals are an outstanding tool to create a obstacle to deter illegal graffiti. In addition, the murals bring a sense of security and pride through their artistic aspects while illegal graffiti symbolizes the lack of civility, disorder and have a ripple effect on urban decay. They undermine citizens’ sense of security, diminish their quality of life and jeopardize social bonds based on trust.
