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. This study depicts how TOD enabled Curitiba to reduce downtown traffic congestion and urban sprawl, and improve quality of life and access to public space for the residents.
