Field notes

Brazil's most planned city — the BRT system is a global urbanism case study and the parks density is unusual for South America. Batel and Água Verde are the nomad-dense neighborhoods. Highland location (~900m) means cooler winters than the rest of Brazil — actual sweater weather. Same Brazilian DNV story as Rio or São Paulo. Pinheirinho and the urban edges are rougher; central districts are fine.
