Big London Roadside Display Softens Visual Impact With Living Green Wall On Rear January 4, 2022 by Dave Haynes I doubt this sort of thing would fully remove the concerns and objections of organizations and individuals who don’t like the proliferation in cities of outdoor digital displays, but an initiative from Digital OOH giant JCDecaux is an interesting compromise.
