History. Curitiba was founded in 1654 as a gold-mining camp, but the processing of maté (tea) and wood products brought long-term growth. In 1854 Curitiba became the state capital. From the early 19th century it received many German, Italian, and Polish settlers, and immigration continued during the 20th century with the arrival of Syrians and Japanese, as well as a massive influx of internal migrants from rural areas. Since 1940 Curitiba has sustained rapid economic and population growth. From the early 1970s the city underwent extensive rejuvenation, which included the creation of new lakes and flood-control systems, large parks, and other recreational facilities. It also introduced recycling programs, zoning regulations, and specialized busing services that made it a model of clean environmental urban planning. Most of this development was under the direction of Jaime Lerner, an architect and engineer who held three terms as mayor of the city and two terms as governor of the state..

City Context. In the 1950s Curitiba was the modest 150,000 person capitol of the Brazilian military-state of Paraná. Curitiba was the processing and distribution center for the surrounding agricultural industry. At its peak during the 1960s, the state of Paraná produced 1/3 of the world’s coffee ( Scwartz , Hugh). After a series of frosts between 1952 and 1975 sent the industry into a downward spiral, workers began turning to Curitiba in search of employment. During this time Curitiba “was characterized by a shortage of electricity, telephones, and paved streets. Only a third of the families living in Curitiba had access to sewers. And traffic was beginning to become more of a problem in the downtown area.” In response to the influx of people, the mayor of Curitiba initiated a Master Plan design competition for the growing capital city. The winning team consisted of young idealistic planners and architects lead by Jaime Lerner..

Sustainable City Planning. After Master Plan for Curitiba was adopted in 1968, Brazilian Curitiba city has implemented several innovative systems to create jobs, improve public transportation accessibility, promote housing development, and improve waste management. Curitiba, located in Parana State, Brazil, has implemented several innovative systems to create jobs, improve public transportation accessibility, promote housing development, and improve waste management. The city has integrated a "radial linear-branching pattern" to protect density by diverting traffic from the city center and protect green areas by encouraging industrial development along radial axes. Curitiba has initiated a Bus Rapid Transit System and established the Curitiba Industrial City (CIC) on the city's west side which has strict environmental regulations and does not allow "polluting" industries..

Benefits of the planned city. Reduced transportation time: the per capita income loss due to severe congestion is ~11 and 7 times lower than in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, respectively; The creation of the CIC has created about 50,000 direct jobs and 150,000 indirect jobs, and about 20% of the state's exports are from the CIC; Curitiba's fuel usage is 3% lower than in Brazil's other major cities; Improved outdoor air quality and associated health benefits; 70% of the city's residents are actively recycling and 13% of solid waste is recycled; Property values of neighboring areas has appreciated, and tax revenues have increased; Reduced flood mitigation expenditures by promotion of park development in flood-prone areas (the cost of this strategy is estimated to be 5% lower than building concrete canals)..

Major Components. Connective corridors : “Concentric circles of local bus lines connect to five radial lines that go outward from the center of the city. On the radial lines, triple-compartment buses in their own traffic lanes carry 300 passengers each. They go as fast as subway cars, but at one-eightieth the construction cost.” (Donella Meadows) 2 mil passenger per day. Designed to encourage density along the corridors, the system expands according to the needs of its riders. (Daniel Wermus S-Dev Geneva-05) . Specially marked bike and pedestrian paths 200 km (90 miles?) of bike paths (Daniel Wermus S-Dev Geneva-05)..

Major Components. Anchors: large parks, patches, & preserves : Land reclamation and water recuperation are used to solve both environmental and social problems. Green zoning safeguards open spaces and stiff regulations protect every tree in the city. Nearly one-fifth of the city is parkland, and volunteers have planted 1.5 million trees along the streets. Parks have been created from abandoned dumps and quarries. The numerous “ethnic” groups were then charged with fitting these parks out according to their nostalgia for their past..

Conclusion. Despite major challenges that came with rapid growth, significant improvements have been made to the city’s quality of life in areas including public transportation, preservation of the city’s cultural heritage, expansion of parks and green areas, and social and environmental programs. Curitiba has a long tradition of innovative and integrated urban planning geared toward the strategic imperative of making the city a better place to live, as outlined in the city’s Master Plan of 1965. From the 1990s until today, the city’s main planning focus has been on sustainable development and integration of Curitiba’s metropolitan region. Strong political leadership and continuity has been essential to long-term implementation of the city’s plan. Although Curitiba is known internationally as a sustainable, ecological city, it calls itself “the city of all of us.” In almost any area of Curitiba’s urban planning over the years, it is possible to see how consideration has been given to people in the big picture–and also to see the associated, system-wide sustainability benefits of integrated planning. This is what’s most unique about the city’s strategy: it maximizes the efficiency and productivity of transportation, land-use planning and housing development by integrating them so they support one another to improve the quality of life in the city..
