Note for Tom

Hey Tom,
For Brazil the city we will concentrate on researching is Curitiba - this is a city that there are already rumours about a Disney theme park opening in, and from my research shows to be technologically advanced  and is well regarded on a world scale for its urban planning and sustainable design as a city.
