Curitiba is not a paradise. We have all the problems that most Latin American cities have. We have slums. We have the same difficulties, but the big difference is the respect given by people due to the quality of the services which are provided.
The design of a city is like a strange archeology.
Bureaucracy is like a fungus that contaminates everything.
Sometimes the media gives us the impression that we are terminal patients, because of problems of global warmth or the ozone layer. And the people, they don't understand that they can could change this situation for the better if they could act locally in a city.
There is no place in a city that can't be better. There is no toad that can't be a princess, no frog that can't become a prince.
