Sao Paulo and Rio not exactly kicking butt here. It's ridiculous to say "Brazil is 35 years ahead" when focusing on one city that isn't exactly the country's center of gravity.

Unfortunately it was an isolated measure taken more than thirty years ago. On the last decades it's happening exactly the opposite. Public parks cut down in half, lots of new fast lanes, underpasses ... XV Street is really a nice place here in Curitiba. Unfortunately it was an isolated measure taken more than thirty years ago.
