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.
