Description: "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."--
