Truth: Urban Solutions from Curitiba,
Brazil
A Convenient Truth: Urban Solutions from Curitiba, Brazil, an informative, inspirational documentary that focuses on innovations in transportation, recycling, social benefits including affordable housing, seasonal parks, and the processes that transformed Curitiba into one of the most livable cities in the world. The film includes interviews from world renowned Curitiba’s mayors Jaime Lerner and Cassio Tanigushi, as well as other brilliant minds who made Curitiba a world class model.
Interesting FYI:
On a visit to Seattle in 2006, former mayor Jamie Lerner said, "I can say every city in the world can make important changes in less than two years. And it's not a question of money, it's just a question of how to transform every problem into a solution. If you have a problem, you have to build an equation of co-responsibility."
The Washington Council on International Trade sponsored a week-long trip to see Curitiba's in October, 2006.
It is about the size of greater Seattle with a population of about 2.8 million.
