BILLBOARD WARS: Signs and the Urban Streetscape
Los Angeles is seeing a sudden upsurge of digital billboards and supergraphics lining freeways, boulevards, and the sides of buildings. Thousands of ad stands are popping up along sidewalks. Is this the future of advertising or another form of visual blight? Are billboards just part of a healthy urban landscape? And, as Los Angeles considers a new sign ordinance amid a blizzard of lawsuits, how do we ensure everyone plays by the rules?
Join the Westside Urban Forum on Friday, March 20, 2009 to hear from all sides of this highly charged topic facing Los Angeles.
