Key Theories in Practice
1. Mobility
2. Sustainability
3. Identity
The bus model. What a brilliant system! The car has been uprooted and told where to go. If only :)
But it works. No more than 2/5 minutes waiting time to get on said buses...The access to green space for people living and working around Curitiba would make for a happy day. It is hard to really grasp it without going there, and watching these videos makes you think it would be a nice place to live.
I like Jamie Lerner's theory about the turtle. He lives and works in that shell....and he would be a very sad turtle if you cut that shell off and put it somewhere else for him to have to go to each day. Decentalising the city would be advantageous.
Lerner also spoke about education and it's necessity for the future of good and happy cities in the future.
Just laying down some ideas from Curitiba method of thinking/applying
