CITIES Goog 113 EXPANSION OF THE NATIONAL NETWORK FOR LOW CARBON MOBILITY Promoting dialogue among municipalities regarding urban projects and public policies to improve air quality and social inclusion is fundamental to Brazilian cities. Based on this necessity, in 2017, WRI Brasil created the National Network for Low Carbon Mobility. The group began with 11 cities - São Paulo, Niterói, Campinas, Fortaleza, Recife, Brasília, João Pessoa, Salvador, Joinville, Porto Alegre and Juiz de Fora - and gained visibility through the development of Complete Streets for Inclusive Cities projects, to disseminate a new paradigm in road design, focused on improving people's quality of life. In 2018, in partnership with the National Mayors Front (FNP), WRI Brasil created a strategy to expand the dissemination of the Complete Streets concept. The effort was based on three pillars: support for cities in the Network for implementing Complete Streets pilot projects; expansion of partnerships with civil society organizations and universities; and the dissemination of Complete Streets concepts by means of intensive communication efforts directed at the project's target public. During 2018, five new cities joined the Network: Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, Porto Velho, Palmas and Guarulhos, extending the concept to other regions of the country. In August 2018, the city of Salvador initiated works on its first Complete Streets project as part of the National Network for Low Carbon Mobility. The priority given to active mobility and planting trees is essential to the project, which is geared towards making Avenida Miguel Calmon, in the city center, a carbon neutral street. Besides the capital of Bahia, four other cities are planning to launch projects for the development of Complete Streets in 2019. Partnerships like that between WRI Brasil and the FNP help leverage the Complete Streets pilot project's positive impacts in their host cities, such as those that form the National Network for Low Carbon Mobility, significantly increasing the potential for project replication on a national scale. 38 WRIbrasil.org.br WRI BRASIL 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 39
