The chosen task in this thesis is to compare two projects of importance on the impact on the approach to graffiti in Norrköping and Göteborg. My main source for empirical findings was interviews. I have examined the Norrköping project Canslit including legal graffiti walls and a graffiti school and the political process around it. This was compared to the Göteborg project kulturprojekt Röda Sten, which is a cultural center that happens to be covered in illegal graffiti. The conclusion was that due to the very detailed plans and well-functioning communications between actors in the Norrköping project, this has resulted in a creative, tolerant approach to graffiti still with low rate of illegal graffiti. In the Göteborg case, many non-decisions from Röda Sten and the Göteborg Culture Commitée among others has taken place, and there is no clear forums for discussion. Therefore, the approach to graffiti is still uncertain and somewhat aggressive but discussion between actors are opening up. The projects effect on illegal graffiti is hard to estimate.
