Postponement of the definition of city-offices is detrimental to Brazil

"The delay in fact contributes to reduce the further time, which is delayed in terms of timeline for hire of projects and works required for the host cities to provide a compatible structure with the requirements of Fifa and the magnitude of the event" ,  evaluates José Roberto Bernasconi, President of the Association of Architecture and Engineering (Sinaenco).

Some cities-candidates were awaiting the announcement of Fifa on the capital chosen for their programs of investments in order to overcome the deficiencies in infrastructure. With the postponement of the decision, these investments are essential postponed. "We can not forget that we have the year 2008, when could have been contracted studies and projects essential to the definition of the works necessary to remedy the deficiencies. In 2009, we continue the same path and delay will only harm the country", weighs Bernasconi.

The Sinaenco developed in 2007 a comprehensive study on the status of 29 stadiums in 17 capitals to host a candidate's key World Cup 2014, and is holding seminars in major cities of candidates to seats soccer world championship in 2014. The events - have made 11 in total - have a focus on analyzing the main weaknesses of the infrastructure of cities and identify the most viable, from a technical and economic, for each capital. "There are cities like Belo Horizonte, for example, have more complex disabilities in certain sectors of infrastructure, such as hotel network. We, with the seminars, not only evaluate the projects and works needed but its appropriateness and its technical and economic sustainability. No use just invest in building more beds is hosting later these ventures have economic viability, "says Bernasconi. The chairman of Sinaenco, it is necessary to articulate actions structural, strategic, to ensure the viability of further investment.
