		The Symphony’s rebirth emerges as a beacon of light in a vast and mismanaged metropolis of 17 million people, its colossal vitality burdened by huge problems of scale as well as by 11,500 murders, 10,000 armed robberies on city buses and several political scandals during 1999.
		In the same book, Covas wrote that São Paulo’s government is taking "a most important and definitive step to establish a policy of rehabilitation of urban spaces through culture." But a struggle lies ahead to create the political stability and institutional density needed to achieve the orchestra’s long-term goals.
		It became less important after Covas won the 1998 election and the orchestra has been doing so well." This relaxed attitude may reflect the limited horizons of politicians whose vision does not extend beyond their own term of office.
