Curitiba
en.wikipedia.org

Curitiba (Portuguese pronunciation: [ku?i'tib?] or [ku?i't?ib?]) is the capital city of the Brazilian state of Paraná. The city has the largest population and also the largest economy in Southern Brazil. According to the American magazine Reader's Digest, Curitiba is the best place to live in Brazil. The population of Curitiba numbers approximately 1.8 million people (7th largest nationwide) and the latest GDP figures for the city surpass US$17 billion (ranking 4th nationwide) according to IBGE.[1]

Its metropolitan area comprises 26 municipalities[2] with a total population of over 3.5 million (IBGE estimate in 2006).[3] Curitiba is an important cultural, political and economic center in the country. The city sits on a plateau at 932 metres (3,060 ft) above sea level. It is located 105 kilometres (65 mi) west of the sea port of Paranaguá and hosts the Afonso Pena International Airport.

Growth was based on the cattle trade, being half way between cattle breeding country to the South and markets to the North. Waves of European immigrants started arriving after 1850, mainly Germans, Italians, Poles, Ukrainians and Macedonians contributing to the economic and cultural development of the city.[4]
