São Paulo, Brazil has banned all forms of outdoor advertising in their city. No more billboards, neon signs, ads on taxi cabs, etc.
Here's the article about the ban.
This Boing Boing post has a link to a whole flickr set of images of São Paulo with the ban in effect.
I'd love to see some photos of the city in another year, once folks have had a chance to take the frame-work for the ads down as well. Free speech issues aside, from some of the pictures, I'd say you can already see an improvement.
