 There
are few examples of sustainable cities. But Curitiba, Brazil, a vital
Latin American city of about 2.1 million residents, defies the odds.
It is considered by many to be one of the most sustainable cities in
the world.
Curitiba started as poor and tumultuous as any other city in the region.
But over the last 30 years it has surpassed many its neighbors in education,
health, human welfare, public safety, democratic participation, honest
politics, environmental protection and community spirit. Some say it
has done better than many of cities in the United States.
