Brazil: “Cities of the future” are to change São Paulo within ten years, whether for the better is anything but certain

The “Cities of the Future” is an initiative of Aya Earth Partners, a ‘global hub’ (meaning globalist hub) focused on actions and solutions that accelerate the ‘net zero transition’, boost the ‘nature-positive economy’, and promote ‘climate justice’.

OMG.

This sounds like the arrival of climate fanaticism of the worst kind in São Paulo, which is already bringing proud countries like Germany to their knees

On Friday, October 7, the initiative held an event in Cidade Matarazzo that brought together executives and leaders of ‘global companies’ (which means uprooted firms, not integrated into communities, following a faceless globalist philosophy) to discuss proposals that will be able to transform large metropolises like São Paulo into ‘inclusive’ cities (meaning look identical like all other globalist cities) within ten years.

Do not worry; we will follow every move with a wary eye, and this newspaper will mercilessly expose and accuse any attempt to create an authoritarian society with the help of surveillance technology.

They say the goal is for metropolises to function with the ‘help of technology’, promoting ‘sustainability’ and adherence to nature in spaces taken by buildings.

Right.

Representatives from the United Nations and companies that are part of the World Bank Group are joining forces to support and enable the cities on the list to become future cities.

That definitely sets all the alarm bells ringing. These organizations are all dangerously globalists in their DNA, which is yesterday’s concept that does not correspond to the rapidly growing trend of the sovereignty of more and more countries and communities.

São Paulo has always had the tendency to trot along behind cities like New York, Paris, or Berlin like a sheep. Until now, it was simply embarrassing but not harmful.

With the growing climate fanaticism coupled with surveillance technology, digital ID, and Central Bank Digital Cash, it can very quickly become a repressed society along Chinese lines.

We hope the new conservative policies taking root in the state will stop this and other initiatives.

According to the co-founder of Aya Earth Partners, Patricia Ellen, besides the participation of large companies from different segments, it is necessary to have a movement of governors and mayors to include this sustainable agenda in the municipalities.

Good luck with that.

Ellen also says that the ‘inclusion of technology’ is fundamental to putting citizens at the ‘center of the decisions’ and ‘prioritizing’ public policies, allowing many bureaucratic processes to be done without the need for displacement and serving the areas of health, infrastructure, and security.

Meaning Health pass, surveillance technology, and total control.

“We have a great opportunity to ‘leverage’ technology (meaning abuse) so that we can have greener, more sustainable, and more humane cities [right] the goal is to improve the ‘quality and access of services’ (all digital so that control is in the hand of the state) at home so that people can commute for other reasons than just solving problems,” he concludes.

Right.

According to Leonardo Bichara Rocha, a senior agricultural economist at ‘The World Bank’, the population wants to have greener spaces in the cities and to be integrated spaces.

“Through this desire, companies must use the concept proposed for the cities of the future involving technology, not only with different techniques, but techniques with more accessible costs for the population,” he reinforces.

When asked about the next generations that will enjoy the cities of the future, the economist believes it is necessary to involve the new generations, making them aware of teaching institutes, schools, and universities.

“They need to be trained to question what goes right and what goes wrong, finding ways that will benefit them, and have the will to work on these projects,” concludes Leonardo.
