The city with no ads


Sao Paulo might well be one of my favorite cities right now. The city council have banned billboard advertising. People in the city are so poor, they happily accepted money from media companies to place billboards in front and on top of their houses. It created a very ugly forest of billboards.

Since April 1st, all billboards are banned under the Clean City laws. What is left are 8000 skeletons that used to hold up the billboards.
