The map
Curitiba, the capital of Paraná, sits on a plateau more than nine hundred metres above sea level in southern Brazil. The city is widely studied for its planning, and the map shows why: structural axes run outward from the centre, each carrying dedicated bus lanes flanked by taller buildings, with quieter residential blocks filling the spaces between. It is a plan with a visible logic.
In the 1970s Curitiba built one of the first bus rapid transit systems in the world, later adding its tube-shaped boarding stations, and turned Rua XV de Novembro into one of Brazil's first pedestrian streets. Former quarries and flood-prone valleys became parks such as Barigui, Tanguá and the Botanical Garden, and the Ópera de Arame, a theatre of steel tubes, stands in an old quarry.
A Curitiba map poster turns this planning into a clear pattern. Straight axes point outward like spokes, green spaces and small lakes sit scattered through the neighbourhoods, and the compact historic centre keeps its older grain around Largo da Ordem. In black and white the order of the plan and the softness of the parks balance each other well.
Long corridors with exclusive bus lanes run out from the centre in several directions, creating strong straight lines that organise the whole map around them.
A large park along the Barigui River on the west side of the city, with a lake that appears as an open, curving shape among the residential streets.
Around Largo da Ordem and the pedestrian Rua XV de Novembro the blocks are smaller and older, forming the densest cluster of streets on the poster.

Why Curitiba
Curitiba is a city its residents talk about with pride, for its parks, its buses and its orderly streets. A map of it suits an architect, a planner or anyone who spent years there and misses the cold mornings on the plateau.
