Many urban areas around the world suffer from similar problems:
heavily congested traffic, lack of effective public transportation,
exploding populations, insufficient housing, overwhelming
pollution, rampant corruption, and other issues. Ineffective
government exacerbates these problems. The city of Curitiba, in the
Parana State of Brazil, found creative ways to transform a small
town into a thriving metropolis. Exactly how did Curibita achieve
this success? Which policies and programs were effective and which
ones weren't? What roles did the public play in the transformation
process? Using interviews with urban planners, politicians,
scholars, and residents, and analyzing hundreds of policy
documents, pieces of legislation and scholarly studies, this book
offers an analytical model based on the idea that public
entrepreneurs are powerful catalysts for change in the urban arena.
The chronicles of Curitiba's journey provide a guide for urban
planners and administrators worldwide. "This book should be a must
for anyone interested in Latin American urbanization and urban
planning/administration. If you are a professor who teaches Latin
America or urban planning, this book should be placed on your
reading list for your students. It should become a guidebook for
those involved in the governing of Latin American cities and other
cities in middle-income economies, which share many similar
problems." - Michael McAdams, Professor of Geography, Fatih
University, Istanbul, Turkey
