The first post is actually the story of a city. The city where the idea of \u200b\u200bAfHU. The story of a city is not easy. There is no plot, no characters, no matter the weather, the sites are dominant. But there is still some chance to talk and describe the city. S i can pick up a holy picture of Aldo Rossi relying on him in the hope that the work is finished you do not face the grave, can be told with words Marco Polo to Kublai Khan in front or you can assign a picture eloquent description of the image of the city itself, hoping that the image chosen will be able to describe all the facets, nuances, gray areas. Maybe then it would be Miss High School in Curitiba, Brazil.
" is very well organized" Luciano told me "but the girls are a bit 'so, I'm a bit' caipira , who knows what he meant caipira , but who knows well what he meant by well-organized. Even Fabio I had spoken "Ah is nice eh "Oh yeah? "Yes, yes, nice clean, not like here, I like." I approached a beautiful city well-organized. I did not know what to think. In the days before I poked around a bit 'on the internet, just to see where I was going, and I find that Curitiba is the capital of Brazil label. I did not think there was an ecological capital in Brazil. An average of 51.5 square meters of public green areas per inhabitant, an innovative urban transport system and built since the early '70s and evolving, the first pedestrian in the world, special attention to preserving the memory of the city and migration and its architectural heritage, urban development focused on decentralization of services and sustainability, all looking to the future without forgetting the past. A model city of 2 million hidden in the mountains of Parana. The El Dorado Architects. I had not started yet and already I love her.
On the road ...
The bus slid on the roadway to the sunny destination station. In the middle of the road two lanes reserved for Expressos Biarticulados orange vie for road cyclists and stop at stations in the form of a tube filled with people waiting their turn diligent. It is the materialization of RIT (Rede Integrada de Transporte ) before my eyes, the public transport network that branches off to the city by joining the periphery to the center. On wikipedia I also found a map that explains how it works with all the stops marked. It seemed to be the subway map of a large European city, was the exemplification of the routes of buses. In each tube is expected to get in front of a door is part of the ticket and go through the turnstile, the bus arrives and opens the doors to those at the bus, it seems incredible, but not if it rains we get wet, or at least We just get wet. Walking around, public transportation and sidewalks Then there is that wikipedia is not wrong so much.
Jaime Lerner and IPPUC
But the feelings are strange, difficult to interpret. Luciano was right, it is well-organized. But by whom? Jaime Lerner is commonly referred to as the main responsible of the shape of the city. Reading here and there one finds that as early as 1965, the council organizes public seminars open to the whole population to discuss the Plano preliminar de Urbanismo , then processed by ' IPPUC under the leadership of Jaime Lerner said. From 1965 to now, the population of Curitiba has quadrupled and urban solutions and labor have not done nothing but evolve, addressing the decentralization and improvement of public services, environmentally sustainable development, the reutilization of abandoned industrial areas, the preservation of historical memory of the area and its monuments, to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants. Practically thinking about everything. A city inhabited by people ruled by enlightened individuals participatory and less relevant as a model for all other cities in the world (just think of the first pedestrian in the world, but also the RIT has been imitated, Transmilenio in Bogota and the ' Orange Line of Los Angeles).
Miss High School in Brazil
I can not comprehend the existence of Curitiba. It's like seeing Miss Liceo pass in the hallways of the school, the whole world stopped, the male gaze in contemplation and ceremonious stupid admiration, the female looks vile contemptuous attitude of superiority to hide auction envy. Also takes good grades. The only consolation is that Miss High School was mostly a bitch, as the girls are a bit of Curitiba ' caipira .
