A model for Transit Oriented Development: Curitiba, Brazil

In the mid-1960s, to keep pace with Curitiba’s surge in population, traffic congestion, and uncontrolled urban sprawl, the City shifted its urban planning strategy from a radial growth pattern to a linear model with Transit Oriented Development at its core.
