<!--Curitiba (Tupi: "Pīnhnyte Land", Brasilisc Portuguesisc: [kuɾiˈtʃibɐ]) is sēo hēafodburg and grīetteste burg þæs brasiliscan landes Paraná. Þǣre burge lēodrǣden hæfde rīm ymbe  1,760,500 lēoda in gēare 2010, making it the eighth most populous city in the country, and the largest in Brazil's South Region. The Curitiba Metropolitan area comprises 26 municipalities[1] with a total population of over 3.2 million (IBGE estimate in 2010),[2] making it the seventh most populous in the country.

Curitiba is an important cultural, political, and economic center in Latin America.[3] The city sits on a plateau at 932 metres (3,058 ft) above sea level. It is located 105 kilometres (65 mi) west of the seaport of Paranaguá and is served by the Afonso Pena International and Bacacheri airports. The city hosts the Federal University of Paraná, established in 1912.

In the 1700s Curitiba possessed a favorable location between cattle-breeding country and marketplaces, leading to a successful cattle trade and the city's first major expansion. Later, between 1850 and 1950, it grew due to logging and agricultural expansion in the Paraná State (first Araucaria logging, later mate and coffee cultivation and in the 1970s wheat, corn and soybean cultivation). In the 1850s waves of European immigrants arrived in Curitiba, mainly Germans, Italians, Poles and Ukrainians, contributing to the city's economic and cultural development.[4] Nowadays, only smaller numbers of foreign immigrants arrive, primarily from Middle Eastern[5] and other Latin American countries.

The biggest expansion occurred after the 1950s, with innovative urban planning that changed the population size from some hundreds of thousands to more than a million people.[6] Curitiba's economy is based on industry and services and is the fourth largest in Brazil.[7] Economic growth occurred in parallel to a substantial inward flow of Brazilians from other cities of the country, as approximately half of the city's population was not born there.[8]

Curitiba sports one of Brazil's highest Human Development Index readings at 0.856, and in 2010 was awarded the Global Sustainable City Award, given to cities and municipalities that excel in sustainable urban development.[9] According to US magazine Reader's Digest, Curitiba is the best "Brazilian Big City" in þǣre þe man wunian cann.[10][11]
