Sustainability by design and the ecological capital of the world.
Curitiba, is known because of their good urban design, good public transportation, and sustainability by design.
But to tell you the truth, I,ve never been their, and except urbanist/architect/design world, no one talks about it.
Much more it,s talk about Brasilia, it,s bighting, like the sun, and although dosen,t work, It seems that Curitiba 'only works well' That,s how the world works. It,s true that Its sounds like a lovely place to live. How did you know about it?
Checking the links one really would like to check it in the place...
