Field notes

Brazil's most planned city — the BRT system is a global urbanism case study and the parks density is unusual for South America. Batel and Água Verde are the nomad-dense neighborhoods. Highland location (~900m) means cooler winters than the rest of Brazil — actual sweater weather. Same Brazilian DNV story as Rio or São Paulo. Pinheirinho and the urban edges are rougher; central districts are fine.

900m elevation makes Curitiba meaningfully cooler than Rio or São Paulo — winter (June–August) gets genuinely cold (13–14°C average, occasional frosts). Summer is mild-warm (peak 20°C average). Rain is distributed across the year with no real dry season. Frost risk in July–August is unusual for Brazil.
