OK, this isn't much to do with Sydenham (although I'm sure some lessons can be learned from it).
An old friend of mine has made a film about a city in Brazil called Cuitiba. It's an incredible place with really beautiful buildings designed by Oscar Neiyermayer and clever town planning by the Mayor Jamie Lerner.
The film is called: Curitiba - It's possible.
