SustainaBrazil: Fractal Urbanism

http://sustainabrazil.blogspot.com/2007/05/fractal-urbanism.html

SustainaBrazil: Sustainability in Brazil: an Introduction

http://sustainabrazil.blogspot.com/2007/04/introduction.html

Monday, April 9, 2007. Sustainability in Brazil: an Introduction. In Brazilian cities, favela’s and condo’s seem to be in a peaceful coexistence, but make the gap between rich and poor, the biggest in the world, painfully visible.

SustainaBrazil: Brazil Network Society

http://sustainabrazil.blogspot.com/2007/08/brazil-network-society.html

Friday, August 10, 2007. Brazilians are natural networkers. Brazilians usually know where to find the people that might be able to help them, how to approach them, and how to connect with them.
