| Summary: |
"As Mayor of Curitiba, Brazil, architect and urbanist Jaime Lerner transformed his city into a global model of sustainability and livability. During more than forty years of innovation in cities, he has learned that changes do not need to be large-scale and expensive to transform -- one block, park, or person can have an outsized effect on life in the surrounding city."--Provided by publisher. |
| Item Description: |
Collection of short essays and poems on different aspects of city life and city planning. "Celebrating pinpricks of change that enrich city life"--Cover. "This is not a technical or theoretical book; it is a book filled with poetry and magic that communicates the importance of dreaming and, at the same time, being pragmatic and making things happen; to always ask if we have the right solution or if there is a better, maybe a simpler way."--Foreword. |
