The green City

Curitiba is the capital of the state Parana and pretends to be the best gouverned city in Brazil.
The previous mayor - an architect gave this city the actual look out !
This City in South Brasil is an example of "green policy".
- In the streets - every pedestrian has priority.
- More than 150km Bicycle roads are forseen
- The Mall is forbidden entrance for cars - except busses
- The famous "Flower road" in the center of Curitiba reminds me on "La Rambla in Barcelona".
- Income to Bus stations are unique and an example for many cities in the world.
- Approx. 50m2 green area is forseen per inhabitant.
(BTW The city counts about 1.3 mil.inhabitants!!)

    Luc, you found yourself some cute looking boats in Curitiba (no Honda engines though)! I was reading about this city just last week but had not realized that you included it in your Brazilian adventures.

    Luc; Thanks for your comments on my Curitiba page! Great photo you have of the bus tube and bus. Can't believe I didn't take a single photo of the incredible bus system; glad you captured it for us on your page.
