There is a city in every country that purports to be the best and most comfortable for living. Do you know that such a place in Brazil is Curitiba? Moreover, it is reasonably considered the most environmentally friendly city in the world.
Curitiba has to be thankful for this status to God (the name of the city is translated from Portuguese like "pine land") and city mayor Jaime Lerner. During the 12 years of his mayoralty he has raised the standard of life in the city up to the highest level.
The most environmentally friendly city in the world: Curitiba
The year of its foundation is 1693, which means it is 320 years old. Seventeen white colonists narrowed the warlike Guarani Indians, settled on the land and started breeding cattle. The town acquired city status in 1842, in 1853 it became the capital of the new Brazilian state of Parana. Soon resettlers from Europe – Poles, Ukrainians, Russian, Germans and Italians – poured in. Alien cultures mixed with local traditions and filled the city with special flavor in architecture, habits of cooking and lifestyle.
Today three quarters of the city's population, numbering 1.83 million, are Caucasians. It is home for the third largest, after Chicago and New York, community of Poles. Fifty thousand Ukrainians, which is a quarter of the entire diaspora in Brazil, live in Curitiba as well. Actually why not? After all it is better to live there where life is better.
There are a great number of squares, parks and ponds in Curitiba. It is cozy, very green and beautiful. It is a major center of tourism visited by over 2 million people annually. It has created a unique transport system, comfortable and running smoothly like Swiss clockwork. Curitiba is hosting the games of 2014 FIFA World Cup. The matches are held at Arena da Baixada seating 43,981 spectators. This year the stadium turned a hundred years old. Reconstruction was completed in spring 2014 and cost 106 million U.S. dollars.
