Curitiba is known as a innovative city, with good life quality. The urban planning was begun in the 1970s, and today the city is reference for public transportation, environmental care, waste management and garbage recycling. Curitiba´s BRT (bus rapid transport) is a model for 76 cities around the world, as a simple and unexpensive alternative. The creation of linear parks to preserve the river margins and avoid the settlement of slums in such areas was the alternative chosen by Curitiba and has been growing sucessfully for over 4 decades.
Historically, the city was not important in the Brazilian history, but culturally the city is known by its large variety. The music workshop (Oficina de Música), Curitiba´s Festival and the great number of theaters and cultural centres are only a few examples of what Curitiba offers in this field. The city is also a melting pot, with great presence of immigrants from all over the world. Everything reflects in the way the city looks and the way local inhabitants think and act. The city is also a gourmet paradise, with great restaurants and renowned chefs de cuisine.
