Dubai launches community drive to repaint graffiti-affected walls

Dubai Municipality has launched a community-driven initiative to repaint walls affected by random graffiti across the city.

It is being implemented in partnership with the 'Nabd Al Emarat' team registered on the Community Development Authority’s platform, and volunteers from the Volunteers.ae platform.

Over 60 volunteers have already joined the effort, helping repaint more than 200 walls and  restoring visual harmony to public spaces.

Engineer Abdulaziz Al Baloushi, Director of the Building Control Section at Dubai Municipality, says a detailed action plan was put in place to identify graffiti-affected areas, with colour matching done to ensure seamless repainting that meets high quality standards.

The campaign promotes civic engagement and supports the UAE’s designation of 2025 as the 'Year of Community'.

Residents and property owners have praised the move, calling it a strong step toward preserving Dubai’s urban aesthetics.

Volunteers say the initiative not only beautifies the city, but also promotes a culture of community involvement and social responsibility.
