In Zurich, the ban against billboards was recently introduced as well.
It reminds me of the discussion of ad blockers on websites like Youtube and Co. After all, advertising is actually a fundamental part of the economy.
How are things in Sao Paolo 10 years later?
- DoingIsLearning 3y ago> After all, advertising is actually a fundamental part of the economy. Ridiculous claim. Product discovery happens regardless of street advertisement. It very much is visual pollution.
- sischoel 3y agoDo you have any sources on that? The only thing I could find was that some parties want to ban digital billboard in the city of Zurich (not the whole canton).
- gom_jabbar 3y agoSorry, I had to clarify that the final decision has not yet been made. The city still approves digital billboards [0]. In Geneva, the debate has been going on for some time. There, I think since 2021, digital billboards should be banned, but in the latest votes there is the counter-movement to keep the billboards [1]. - [0]: https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/hbd/de/index/bewilligungen_und_beratung/aussenwerbung/aussenwerbekonzepte/konzept-plakatierung/digitale-werbeanlagen.html https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/hbd/de/index/bewilligungen_und_...
