When societal instability arises due to citizens’ dissatisfaction, the first concern that comes to mind is the danger posed by legal violations and individual aggression. Currently, with the existing societal structure and the challenges of urban life, public policies must focus on addressing vandalism and aggression exhibited by individuals, particularly in urban public spaces. This research highlights the role of urban policies in countering the daily struggles of urban living and the available opportunities in the urban environment. One visible manifestation of such aggression can be observed in urban walls, where young people and teenagers often vent their energy by drawing graffiti and writing on walls. If public policies do not pay attention to this issue, these behaviors may intensify and become unmanageable. Therefore, it is essential to manage this phenomenon through appropriate measures by creating recreational spaces, promoting suitable entertainment, and using public spaces to channel youthful energy effectively, thereby improving public welfare. This study examines societal tendencies and hidden potentials in individuals, focusing on the artistic and behavioral aspects of vandalism. It aims to harmonize these tendencies with urban environments by adopting a serious approach to designing urban spaces. By integrating art and behavioral patterns, this research proposes solutions for creating appropriate environments for citizens while fostering urban aesthetics and preventing the escalation of urban vandalism.
