Feeling Fences

In every city I have visited so far except for Brasilia, there are fences and fences and more fences.  Most houses, buildings, and space in Brasil is privately owned.  It's a strange feeling because parts of Europe and North America feel more open and accessible.

PROSAMIM has a radically new vision of Manaus and the importance of public space.  Here is Parque Senador Jefferson Péres built by PROSAMIM, this area used to be a slum area.  Now the park has a playground, an orchid greenhouse, and food stands.
