I learned about this city, consistently hailed as one of the most eco-friendly cities in the world, in my environmental science class.
Some random facts I remember from lecture:
The city recycles two-thirds of its refuse.
Parks are maintained not by lawn mowers, but by actual shepherds! *mind blown*
Has one of the best economies in the country.
One of the best public transportation systems in the world, including a great bus system that runs in and out of each suburb around Curitiba. The buses run on an honor system; individual tickets are cheap, and often aren't checked at all. However, there is a steep fine for anyone caught without a ticket.
High on my list of interesting places in the world that I wouldn't mind visiting one day.
A great article about Curitiba Here.
