In the page 45 I posted the projects in Rio, there is a development project for the port zone of Rio. There is a video attached. I don't know if what you meant was that.

Is Jim brazilian? He acts like some brazilians forumers especially that ones who think brazilians cities need a 1km skyscraper to show the world that we live in a developed country.

The renovation of entire Port Area seems to be really huge project to me,
The new bus rapid system for old urban planned districts of Rio seems to be a really challenging project for the city,
The 4 BRT lines will convert Rio in one of the biggest BRT cities in the world,
The Tomorrow Museum will be a nice modern archtectural building in Port Area,
The already built City Control Center, a bigger-than-Nasa control room for the city is superb,
The extensions of subway Rio is building and also planning for after-2017 are also nice and very interesting.


Is it enough for Jim?
... Unless Jim is waiting Rio to send a manned ship to mars and have the first mankind milestone made by one city only.
Well, our control room for the city is bigger than Nasa one!

I confess I misunderstood Jim about skyscrapers... But still didn't understand what he means.

We can be friends, but be less "provocative" in your comments.
What is a "huge project" for you? Give us examples.

[Jim856796]

A supertall project like the New York Times Tower in NYC, but only Sao Paulo can have supertalls, if they don't have any height restrictions, either. (Rio de Janeiro has a 200m height limit.)

That high speed line that was proposed between the Rio and Sao Paulo, but never got off the ground and will never be completed for the World Cup or the Olympics.

Now, please don't ask me again.

A high speed bullet train doesn't take off overnight. Who told you it will not be ready for the Olympics? Source, please.
God forbid a NY Times building in Rio. It would fit great in SP and that's where it should go. Height doesn't really matter in Rio... and I am very happy with that.

[Jim856796]

The high speed rail project is just unlikely to ever be built. And do not ask me to verify things again.

Jim856796, since the beginning you have done only negative and useless criticism to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, so if you drive your repressed feelings to something usefull will be good for everybody. And you should yes look for information before say what you think to don't seem to be ignorant.

and who can guarantee it will be ready? This bullet train seems to be madness to me. Isn't more interesting make a nacional rail system?

No one is saying it will be ready. It may be, it may be not. Nonetheless there are still plans of building at least the first phase (not including Campinas) prior to the Olympics.

You're right... Perhaps a good, reliable national rail system does make more sense, however I must confess that I do love the idea of the bullet train between Rio and São Paulo. How about building both the bullet train and a regular national system? Money doesn't seem to be an issue to Brazil theses days...

THANKFULLY, Sao Paulo and all Brazilian cities also have a height limit for their buildings. It would be a mess for a city like Sao Paulo to have a 100-floor building in the city. Sao Paulo is not a planned city.
It's better to build a very high observation tower for tourists.

Jim, understand it: we does care more about our beautiful nature landscape than about a pile of concrete. Get used to it.

I'm a huge fan of the bullet train project between Rio and Sao Paulo, but I think it's better now to spend all the bullet train money to build several subways systems in the biggest Brazilian cities.
And the Olympic Games or the World Cup does not need the bullet train, but better airports and it seems now this is priority of Brazilian Govt.


The bullet train can wait a little. We have other transportation priorities in short-time span.

[DannyelBrazil]

I really can not understand (and agree) with people that says only skyscrapers are worth of the title "huge project".
I understand some cities likes it, and indeed I'm a huge fan of some "citylines" with huge buildings. But this not fits the reality of special cities, like Rio, Venice, Capetown...
Imagine a 100-floor building in the middle of Rome or Downtown Amsterdam?!?!?!

Those are special cities for different reasons: historic, natural landscaping, charming... Jim should respect more the will of the inhabitants of these cities. The world is not at a war of who can put the biggest building ever. Many people really does not give a damn for this stupid competition.

It's easier to put efforts in one city compared to manage a huge event in 12 distant and big cities at the same time.

Rio 2016 is really doing great about preparations, the olympic park and part of referee's village is already done and delivered 5 years before.

The World Cup will be nice and will have everything done in time (maybe finishing last details days before the first match, as always in Brazil, but done).

olympic park already done?

Not the Olympic Park for competitions, but the Olympic Park for training and leisure.

Sir, please don't get mental with other users.

You can't tell me to get used to something that I hate very much. I do not hate your height restrictions or you natural landscape. Not my fault that trees are being replanted because of BRT projects.
