A Happy, Flourishing City With No Advertising

"... banned every billboard, poster, and bus ad in São Paulo with the Clean City Law. Even business signage had to go... five years later, have all the businesses in São Paulo gone under? Hardly. In fact, most citizens and some advertising entities report being quite pleased with the now billboard-less city."

Wonder if some politician is so brave enough to try this in Asia?
