Teaching Canberra a thing or two


While traveling in Brazil last year we visited one of the most amazing urban centres I've ever seen. The city of Curitiba is not your typical tourist destination as it has little that the average tourist would venture out for. However, as an example of successful, human-scale urban planning it's a truly modern miracle. Curitiba's carefully crafted development has been managed on a scale that other planned cities like Canberra have yet to master or fully mature.

Those of you that followed our adventures by email won't have heard of this city. I failed to mention it in correspondence and have never created a post on this blog - until now. Perhaps it's time to introduce you to one of the most livable city's I've ever seen.

Welcome everyone to the modern miracle of Curitiba .
