Cities in both North and South America are confronting tremendous
challenges in urban growth and management as they enter the new
century. Curitiba in Brazil and Portland in Oregon, US are cities
that have achieved recognition for exemplary urban planning
programmes over the past three decades. As such, they provide
particularly useful illustrations of the intense development
pressures that many urban areas currently face. This book explores
the dynamics of their urban governance, arguing that, in general,
there has been a unique synergy derived from the combination of
visionary leadership, innovative urban plans and effective citizen
involvement. The book argues that, while urban design and
architecture are key to the success in making cities livable and in
augmenting the global reputations, such sensitive, innovative urban
planning and design projects first need to be governed effectively
and grounded within the specifics of their local cultures and
existing built environments.
