A comment on Conversation: Eduardo Paes: Four commandments of future city: 1. Be green 2. Fix mobility 3. Honor favelas 4. Embrace tech
When you think of a city in the future, you have to think GREEN, GREEN, GREEN ---> OF COURSE!
Favelas are not always a problem, just change vicious circle to virtuous circle ---> I AGREE!
"A city of the future has to be socially integrated." --->> I AGREE!
A city of the future: no files, no paperwork, public servants work 24/7 --> sounds great.
A city of the future cares about its citizens and cannot leave anyone out. --> TOTALLY!!
A comment on Conversation: If you could interview any 5 people in the world on the subject of gratitude who would you choose?
here are a few names that came to my mind:
Maya Angelou (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Angelou)
Monja Coen (http://www.monjacoen.com.br/)
Lia Diskin (founder http://www.palasathena.org.br/)
good luck!!
