The Sao Paolo banning of billboards I can get behind. The banning of awnings for the businesses actually behind them, not so much.

City advertising invites a lobby group with the goal of removing objects obstructing views of advertising - which has an impact particularly on urban trees and wildlife.
It also takes over public space - the fountain at Piccadilly Circus has been used as a convenient meeting point, but in recent years the whole area has been inaccessible in the winter due to extra advertising hoarding.
