Curitiba

Re: Revolution in architecture opens in Curitiba, Brazil

Ten years ago, I passed through Curitiba (pronounced "Curichiba") on a 56-hour bus-ride from Santiago to São Paulo. The city is famous for its eco-friendly urban planning. I couldn't see much, but it looked very futuristic (in a good way) and livable.

Here are two sites, in Brasiliero, a.k.a. Portuguese: Prefeiture Municipal de Curitiba and Guia Geográfico Curitiba.

Here's a description of the city, in English: Wikipedia: Curitiba.
