Not too many billboards on those buildings, are there?

| there are building standards galore but no apparent limit on signs or street furniture.. Outside busy shopping districts, the sky is a maze of cables and heavily piggy-backed utility poles thanks the push for cable and broadband .. at night some shopping streets blaze a literal wall-to-sky carpet of neon and jumbo video screens.
Its really a part of the bladerunner flavor of the place, if you want to see what signage rules do to the character of a city go visit singapore at night .. dull dull dull (but they recognized their mistake and are relenting).
In a really big earthquake, standing in a sign heavy street may not be a bright idea. |
