Long abstractThe challenge of living in the Anthropocene is, for the major-ity of the world’s population, an urban challenge. Finding ways to connect with each other and our urban environments is an essential task. Where might we find examples of an “ethics of care” taking shape in our cities to inspire us in meeting this challenge? An inner-city meatworks carpark covered in graffiti might be the last place we would think to look. But the story of how such a carpark became, for a time, the Graffiti Hall of Fame has plenty to teach us as we seek out new ways of inhabiting and caring for our urban environ-ments.In the narratives of urban decline and renewal that per-meate contemporary urban policy discussions, graffiti writers frequently feature as villains. Graffiti is seen as a form of dirt, decay, and destruction, perpetrated by anti-social vandals who lack respect for the sanctity of property and community.
