Legal Areas

Lisbon City Hall has placed several boards near Bairro Alto so that the artists can paint or express any street art form legally. Artists now have a new place to show their art.
It looks like these are the first of a series that City Hall will spread in several other places around the city.
Does this initiative will keep the walls clean?
We would like to know your opinion.
