i lived in Curitiba for 24 years. I have lived in London uk for 10 years now. I still go back every year and it amazes me how much Curitiba has grown and developed. People who say that Curitiba have overcrowded busses and trafic have probably never been to a major city. Yes, trafic is getting heavier, busses are getting fuller, but when you compare with other towns like Sao paulo and London, curitiba is by far the best structured city. I can only praise Lerner for the great work he has done!!

Lerner passed away today. Very smart man!

"creativity starts when you cut a zero from your budget." mass public transportation is the future of transportation. trains are where its at.

a truly revolutionary and healthy talk, I really enjoy Jaime Lerner's style of delivery and mental attitude. Attitude + Sustainability = Good Things, Real Good Things.

I live in Curitiba since 1991 and by that time Curitiba was indeed an urban example for the whole Brazil and beyond. But in the last 18 years, a lot have changed. The city grew a lot. When Lerner left the mayor office, 92, the "Big Curitiba" had 1,5 millon people, now the number reached to 3 millon people. Now Curitiba has all the problems of any brazilian major city: violence, polution and traffic problem. Its still much better than any big brazilian city

Este maravilhoso ser Humano, Jaime Lerner, mente brilhante, ideias simples , deslumbrantes , jamais pensadas por outro. Sua forma de pensar, projetar é de um grande gênio, O nosso Leonardo da Vinci.

By the way, when watching again this, and he says “teach the children”, when talking about garbage separation…. Well, growing up in Curitiba (born in 1994), I grew up knowing the importance of separating recyclables. Now I live in San Francisco, California, and I still separate trash in my home. On the other hand, I sew that’s not that common here like in Curitiba, even though it’s very encouraged.

HAHA, what a legend... "It's possible its possible, you can do it"

Another great offering from TED. I appreciate the message, and the opportunity to share it.

its been 13 years. hows it going

I see your point. I am sorry to hear of that. Still, one must consider that to make a living one must have good business. If his business made the city better then....good for him and good for the city. I enjoy the message regardless of the *fact* you mention.

Excellent talk!

It's only convenient to have self driving cars if they have space to move around. If they are stuck in traffic it does no good. And you don't have to descend 2 stories to access the tube stations. They are on the street just like a regular bus stop, except that it gives the effectiveness of the subway for one hundredth of the cost. Watch "A Convenient Truth: Urban Solutions from Curitiba, Brazil" if you want to know more about the city. Curitiba shows evolution of cities is a living reality.

Lovely person

EPIC VID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi im from aphug

I live in Curitiba, excelent city. Sao Paulo is just horrible to live.

Interesting.

Love this guy

bravo!!!!!!

The transportatiom system is over its cappacity by far. Those red articulated busses that Lerner showed at the rush hours are like riding in a can. I think that Curitiba sold the idea to ourselves that its transport system was so good, that only few change has been done and any major change is quickly denied. The result is that the midlle class that 15 years ago used the busses, but now if you have a car (like i do) hardly ride a bus and the traffic is becoming worse each day

mike will made it

Incredibly inspirational - I love this guy!!!

All of this sustainable city movement is saying that Le Corbusier principle is a failure

This is genius, and something we can all support.

legend portuguese?
