Working on my final project for my curriculum class and stumbled upon this gem. The article Graffiti Vandalism Linked to Urban Decay intrigues me. If you read it, drop a line. Or on any of these resources for that matter!
The purpose of their site is to present safety issues of concern to the City of Calgary and its various communities in ways that tie directly to the Alberta Curriculum of Studies. Students and teachers can use the material presented on their pages to address outcomes.
