Ciro Biderman

Ciro Biderman is the director of FGV Cidades, a prominent urban studies research center in Brazil. He has been vocal about the challenges faced by Brazilian cities, particularly São Paulo, which he considers the most extreme example of car-centric urban planning. Biderman advocates for a more human-centered approach to urban design that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists, contrasting sharply with the prevailing trends that favor motorized transport.
