 > (IPPUC) revolves around a group of specialists who formulated the 
master plan for
 > Curitiba's development, and was founded in 1965. Jaime Lerner 
(profiled right column,
 > top) was originally a member of the IPPUC specialist group, before 
going on to become
 > mayor. The master plan hammered out in the first year of operation of 
the institute,
 > stipulates land use regulations, which form the basis of the existing 
Curitiba city
 > plan.
 > Since fashioning the first master plan, IPPUC has incrementally 
improved it over
 > the years, while maintaining its original commitment to urban policy. 
This direct
 > and continuing involvement is a significant factor in the ongoing 
ability of the
 > city to adhere to its city plan. Curitiba's development plan is also 
unique in that,
 > instead of having specialists in each field put together individual 
development plans-as
 > tends to be the case with most cities-all development officials get 
together to collectively
 > agree on a development plan. One tradition carried over from the time 
of the previous
 > mayor is for the mayor and IPPUC members to meet each Thursday with 
executives from
 > each city hall department to discuss key issues, in what is known as 
a "matrix" meeting.
 > One characteristic of the overall Curitiba plan is that it 
successfully integrates
 > land use (i.e., land use, transport, greening and other 
infrastructure development)
 > with social programs such as welfare, education, environment 
education and industrial
 > policy. The "matrix" meetings and the collective model of decision 
making play large
 > parts in this integration.

 > WHAT IS AN ECOCITY?
 > An ecocity is a human settlement that enables its residents to live a 
good quality
 > of life while using minimal natural resources and supporting maximum 
ecodiversity.
 > Buildings
 > Its buildings make best use of sun, wind and rainfall to help supply 
the energy and
 > water needs of occupants. Generally multistory to maximize the land 
available for
 > greenspace.
 > Biodiversity
 > It is threaded with natural habitat corridors, to foster biodiversity 
and to give
 > residents access to nature for recreation.
 > Transport
 > Its food and other goods are sourced from within its borders or from 
nearby, in order
 > to cut down on transport costs.
 > The majority of its residents live within walking or cycling distance 
of their workplace,
 > to minimise the need for motorised transport.
 > Frequent public transport connects local centres for people who need 
to travel further.
 > Energy
 > Its greatest energy solution is conservation, through reducing the 
largest factor
 > in civilization's demand - car-dependent city structure - to a small 
fraction consumed
 > today.  The energy actually provided would be from the long term 
renewable sources
 > such as solar and wind and modest use of hydro and geothermal power.
 > Industry
 > The goods it produces are designed for reuse, remanufacture, and 
recycling.
 > The industrial processes its uses involve reuse of by-products, and 
minimise the
 > movement of goods.
 > Economy
 > It has a labour intensive rather than a material, energy, and water 
intensive economy,
 > to maintain full employment and minimise material throughput.
 > The whole living system
 > Its most profound set of solutions - to physical, ecological, 
economic and social
 > problems - is in its healthy organization of integral parts for 
harmony within and
 > balanced relationship with its local and global environments without.

 > JAIME LERNER
 > ECOCITY WORLD SUMMIT
 > KEYNOTE SPEAKER
 > "The city is not a problem, rather it contains a solution for 
everything."
 > If
 > there is a Mr. Ecocity anywhere on the planet, it is without question
 > former mayor of Curitiba, Brazil. Lerner is the architect planner who
 > led the work to transform his city, starting in 1972, into a world
 > model of ecological and social policies, design and built projects.
 > The chief architect of the Curitiba Master Plan, he was appointed 
mayor during Brazil's
 > military dictatorship in 1971. When the nation returned to democracy, 
he was elected
 > to two more terms. During his 12 years in office, Lerner devised many 
of Curitiba's
 > innovative, inexpensive solutions to city problems. For example, in 
the early days
 > of the public transit system, to increase its funding and encourage 
ridership, he
 > made a special city lottery, valuing bus fare as lottery tickets. To 
combat Curitiba's
 > growing litter problem, he created more incentives for recycling, 
including exchanging
 > bottles, cans and other recyclables for food. Lerner believed in 
implementing plans
 > swiftly -- in just 72 hours, he converted several blocks of the 
downtown into Brazil's
 > first pedestrian mall.
 > Lerner's track record in Curitiba helped him gain the trust and 
confidence he needed
 > to reach state office, and he served as governor from 1994 to 2002. 
Today, Lerner
 > consults with cities on their plans for addressing long-term growth 
and sustainability.
 > We are happy to announce that Mr. Lerner will be providing the 
Keynote Address at
 > Ecocity World Summit 2008. His talk will be illustrated with images 
from Curitiba,
 > courtesy of the producers of the new DVD, "A Convenient Truth, Urban 
Solutions from
