The president of Brazil's National Association of Architectural and of Consulting Engineering Companies (SINAENCO), Jose Roberto Bernansconi, has issued another warning to the cities and governments responsible for getting themselves ready for the 2014 Cup, stating that ongoing delays and hiccups in transport and telecommunications preparations in particular are becoming very worrying.
Having just returned from London and an inspection of preparations for the 2012 Olympics, Bernansconi believes Brazil, and of course Rio de Janeiro, are falling behind the required time-frames and that significant work needs to be done over the coming months to remedy the situation.
