Road System
● Based on the concept of a linear city, intended to maximise local
accessibility
● From 1974, urban design emphasized linear growth along a series of
structural axis
o total of 5 axis by 1982
o Each axis is consist a trinary road system
● Connector roads link the structural roads to city center
o Express routes
o Feeder routes
o Inter-district routes
o Direct routes

Zoning Laws
● Set in place to design a direct linear growth by attracting residential and
commercial density along a mass transportation lane
● By 1992, almost 40 percent of Curitiba's population resided within three
blocks of major transit arteries.
The Green Exchange Program
● “Câmbio Verde”;
● Began in 1989;
● “Garbage that is not Garbage”;
● 70% in 1 year.
“Thinking of the city in integrated
ways – seeing how to integrate
functions and different social groups –
is one of the keys to Curitiba's work.”
