History

JCDecaux is the only global player exclusively dedicated to outdoor advertising. Founded in 1964 in France by Jean-Claude Decaux, the company today has operations in 55 countries with a presence in more than 3 418 cities. The company is centered around three principal and complementary business activities : street furniture, billboard and transportation.

JCDecaux completed its IPO on Euronext Paris in June 2001 but is still family owned, chaired by founder Jean-Claude Decaux and his sons Jean-François Decaux  and Jean-Charles Decaux.

Design & Designers

A cultural focus underscores the values on which JCDecaux has been built - a respect for the urban environment and its cultural heritage. It's a philosophy that permeates the company worldwide.

Some of the world's most celebrated architects and designers have over the years collaborated with the company. Norman Foster, Mario Bellini, Philippe Starck, Jean-Michel Wilmotte, Martin Szekely, Philip Cox, Porsche Design, the MacIntosh School.

Norman Foster's design bid was ultimately successful, due in part to JCDecaux's understanding of the need to incorporate into the design the essential qualities of life in Israel - its openness, light and spontaneity.
