Branded Cities




(Iveson, K 2012, 'Branded cities: outdoor advertising, urban governance, and the outdoor media landscape', Antipode, 44, 1, pp. 151-174, Academic Search Complete, EBSCOhost, viewed 29 September 2013.)

This article discusses the topic of advertising in outdoor urban spaces, the title 'Branded Cities' is definitely a concept which I find interesting, it makes me consider that with each city being 'branded' by the same large corporations displaying the same slogans, brands and advertisements are public spaces becoming repetitive or even standardised - we know what to expect.
