- Lave kulstofemissioner;
- Nul affald;
- Miljø og bæredygtig byplanlægning;
- Transport, infrastruktur, bygninger, grøn økonomi og bolig;
- Harmonisk samfund og bæredygtig kultur og arv.

Architect and Urban Designer Jaime Lerner is the author of this urban design fairytale. He designed the Curitiba Master Plan which was adopted in 1968. In 1971, he became Curitiba’s Mayor and failed to be voted out of office for the next 22 years. His simple message: People are more important than cars. In ‘City of Dreams‘, a documentary by Olivia Rousset, he says: ‘If you want to make life better for people, make the cities better‘.
According to Lerner, the secret behind his concept is its simplicity. ‘We didn’t have fear of simplicity, because a city is not so complex that the complexity sellers want us to understand.‘
