A key aspect of Lefebvre's theory is the claiming of urban spaces. The theme of his work is to create a sense of community among its residents.In Gainesville, the unusual presence of graffiti-tolerated spaces provides students and residents a way to claim this urban space, our campus, for their own. For many students, like Jack Coon, it serves as an artistic calling. Sean Plemons of Visit Gainesville receives calls for people seeking out the street art that it is, in fact, something that brings people to this area. Sergeant Tim Peck from the University of Florida Police Department explains that graffiti at Norman Tunnel, much like the 34th Street wall, "was something that started a long time ago, and it has remained an unwritten rule that it’s allowed there." It's a tradition that has been intact since the early ’90s. All of these statements serve as our key to the city. It shows the importance that street art has

on people's connection to the city. It's a place where people feel they can be heard through an intimate expression of what they stand for. Art has always been held to a high standard in our culture. So if Lefebre is right and claiming your urban space is necessary for it to thrive then it only fits the bill that graffiti walls like Norman Tunnel should be allowed in other cities, states and countries. For it serves as an interactive key to a stark and concrete facade otherwise.
