AbstractThe city of Curitiba, Brazil, has gained international acclaim for its planning initiatives. This profile addresses the successes achieved by urban planning and the challenges of growth and development in Curitiba. A historical account of Curitiba’s planning and development is presented. A discussion of urban and regional development follows, establishing the relationship between the city itself and the areas surrounding it. Three issues are discussed in detail: urban poverty, housing and transportation. A critical review of these topics is offered, along with the current conditions and hopes for each one of them, and for the city as a whole.
