I wrote a recent article that appeared in the September issue of Urban Land magazine on Niteroi, a city located near Rio de Janeiro. The city, with the help of Morris Architects, has been doing extensive planning for redevelopment, particularly along their waterfront. Read the Niteroi article here. Accompanying that article is an agreement between architects in the United States and Brazil to pursue sustainable development. Read the green protocol article here (note, the article is on page 2 of the document, page 39 of the magazine).
