How Parana Governor Lerner
keeps snaring carmakers
Jaime Lerner gets results. As
the three-term mayor of
Curitiba, the capital of
southern Brazil's Parana state,
he won international

one of the developing world's
most livable cities and an

sustainability.
Now, as governor of Parana
since 1995, Lerner, 59, is
wielding his persuasive powers
with potential investors to
make Curitiba, a city of 1.6
million, and neighboring towns
a major auto-manufacturing
hub–
