Workshop with AdFree Cities, Our Space not Ad Space: reclaiming public space for people, not consumerism
In The Stage
Join Adfree Cities to discuss how, through policy and through local action, we can create cities free from outdoor advertising, which favour local economies, creativity and nature rather than consumerism. We will look at our recent research into the links between outdoor advertising and inequality, and we’ll invite you to get creative with ideas for challenging advertising where you live.
