Jaime Lerner. 
 - xvi, 143 pages :  illustrations some colour ;  22 cm. 
<br/><br/> Collection of short essays and poems on different aspects of city life and city planning.  '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. 
<br/><br/> '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. 
<br/><br/><br/>Translated from the Portuguese.
