 over and maintained exactly the same thing of people and the same priorities that I had. Last year, I won the election in the first run-off with almost 60% of the vote. Again, great expectations. And since then, there is a very strong and unheard of before integration between the city and the state. Now, the state government is expanding the underground in another 27 kilometers, till 2010, and accelerating the upgrading of the train transport into a kind of surface underground in terms of security, comfort, and performance. This is the key to improve the Sao Paulo transport system, to transform the train transport into underground. There are 240 kilometers of train tracks, and it is much cheaper to transform them into a kind of surface underground than building new lines. We shall be investing $90 billion in this program till 2010. We are buying now 100 new trains, and part of the money will come from the private sector, that for the first time, we run just one of the lines of the underground system. We are also rushing the works on the ring road. We forced the federal government to contribute. And again, we introduced the private sector in the area, which will get its money back through the tolls, which are quite unpopular, but necessary. Regarding slums, the basic idea is do not remove, but to transform the so-called favelas, Iceland, in a normal neighborhood. But it costs about $4,000, $5,000 per family. Of course, it reduces very sharply the inequality, but I must say that inequality reduction and housing improvement fosters domestic migration. Not from the state, because Sao Paulo has only 15% of its population in the agricultural sector, but from other states. It's, I wonder sometimes if it's possible to have a good and fair city in a poor country, because, of course, of the freedom of immigration, not as in China, but in a free and democratic country. And when housing improves, improves migration, this is automatic. This is a matter for all the kind of discussion. Finally, a program that is meeting with success is the deep privatization of public space, making it accessible to all, with the clear rules that all rich and poor must obey. The most visible program has to do with the radical clean city law, which practically abolished outdoor and publicity panels and the billboards in the city, sharply reducing visual pollution. That was a violent reaction against the law by advertisers and owners of business in that activity. But the law passed on and put to effect immediately with great success. We also started the recuperation of degraded downtown area through powerful state and municipal fiscal incentives. The improvement of the service of public cleaning and garbage collection, repavement of the streets and improvement of sidewalks. Not as a main impact attitude, but as a global program of improvements. This allowed the city and administrations without a great increase in our budget to appear for the first time as the champion of an interest higher than the sum of all the individual interests. And inspired by the examples of the Nuit Blanche of Paris and not the Bianca of Rome. Here we have cities learning from each other. We first organized a cultural journey in Sao Paulo. 24-hour program of music, theater, dance and movie presentations all over the city, reaching more than 3 million people. Its success was so great that we decided to expand the idea and create in the same format of a 24-hour journey to a sports journey and even a social journey in areas with high rates of criminality. Well, all these initiatives were giving continuation and are being expanded to allow the people of Sao Paulo to reclaim the streets of the city for themselves, refraining to give up in face of indifference. Our goal with these initiatives was to reinforce the link between the use of public space and the citizenship and civility to all those who live in the city, regardless of a social class or status. Thank you very much, Mr.
