The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil will be the country’s most important sporting event in the next two years as prelude to the world’s main sporting event: the Olympics, to be celebrated in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Manaus, an Amazonian historic capital and Brazil’s eighth most populated city, will be one of the host cities for the championship which conveys a great organizational effort that goes beyond mere sports. The public policy planned and developed in the city of Manaus, in relation to its public transport system and the World Cup, has thus been analyzed through the study of projects proposed by governing public agencies, independent geographical and transport studies, and related local news articles.Downloads
