French cities trying to ban public adverts
It's kind of an open secret that the city of Santa Barbara (CA, US) has banned several forms of public outdoor advertising: we have no billboards, no promotional posters, no taxi toppers...    It's delightful, and very high on my list of reasons why I enjoy living here.  Every time I leave I'm reminded how noisy space is when it's filled with advertisements.  I wholeheartedly recommend others advocate for similar policies in their municipality - it can be done!
