- Curitiba is the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Paraná. The city's population numbers approximately 1.75 million people, making it the 8th most populous in the country, and the largest in the Brazil's South Region. Its metropolitan area, called Curitiba Metropolitan Area (Região Metropolitana de Curitiba, in Portuguese), comprises 26 municipalities with a total population of over 3.2 million (IBGE estimate in 2010), the seventh most populous in the country. Curitiba is an important cultural, political and economic centre in the country and in Latin America. 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 sea port of Paranaguá and is served by the Afonso Pena International and Bacacheri airports. The city hosts the Federal University of Paraná, established in 1912, one year before electric streetcars were first deployed. Curitiba's rapid expansion was based on the cattle trade, the city being located half-way between the cattle breeding country to the south and the markets to the north. Waves of European immigrants started arriving after 1850, mainly Germans, Italians, Poles and Ukrainians, contributing to the economic and cultural development of the city. Nowadays, only smaller numbers of foreign immigrants arrive, mainly from Middle Eastern and others Latin American countries, but there is a substantial inward flow of Brazilians from other states of the country (approximately half the population of Curitiba was not born in the city). In 2010 Curitiba was awarded the Globe Sustainable City Award which was set up to recognize cities and municipalities which excel in sustainable urban development around the world. According to the US magazine Reader's Digest, Curitiba is the best "Brazilian Big City" in which to live.

- Curitiba on Paranán osavaltion pääkaupunki Brasiliassa. Kaupungissa on noin 1,7 miljoonaa asukasta (2011). Suurkaupunkialue käsittää 26 kuntaa, joiden yhteenlaskettu asukasluku on 3,7 miljoonaa (2011). Nimi Curitiba tulee tupi-intiaanien kielen sanoista Curii Tiba (paljon mäntyjä) johtuen alueella ennen kaupungin perustamista kasvaneista lukuisista araukariasukuun kuuluvista havupuista. Portugalilaiset antoivat vuonna 1693 perustamalleen kylällä nimeksi Vila da Nossa Senhora da Luz dos Pinhais (Hieno valon naisemme mäntymetsässä). Kylä sai nimen Curitiba vuonna 1721. Curitibaa pidetään yhtenä parhaista kaupunkisuunnittelun esimerkeistä ympäri maailmaa. Kaupungilla on tehokkaasti toimiva joukkoliikennesysteemi. Kaupungissa on onnistuttu myös säilyttämään ja pitämään huolta viheralueistaan, joita on peräti 54 neliömetriä asukasta kohti. 1960-luvulle tultaessa Curitiban asukasluku oli kasvanut 430 000 ihmiseen ja jatkoi nopeaa kasvuaan. Monet asukkaista pelkäsivät, että kaupunki menettää luonnettaan laajentuessaan. Vuonna 1964 pormestari Ivo Arzua pyysi suunnittelumalleja. Arkkitehti Jaime Lerner johti työryhmää Paranán yliopistosta, joka ehdotti tarkkaa kontrollia kaupungin leviämiselle, liikenteen vähentämistä keskustassa, Curitiban historiallisen alueen säilyttämistä sekä mukavaa ja halpaa ratkaisua julkiselle liikenteelle. Suunnitelma otettiin käyttöön 1968.

- Curitiba è una città brasiliana, capitale dello stato del Paraná, situata a 934 metri di altitudine nell'altopiano del Paraná, ad un centinaio di km ad ovest delle coste dell'Oceano Atlantico. È l'ottava città più popolata del paese, e soprattutto una delle più grandi della regione meridionale, con una popolazione che ammonta a 1.751.907 abitanti. È la principale città della Regione Metropolitana di Curitiba, costituita da 26 municipi con una popolazione totale di 3 172 357 abitanti su di una superficie complessiva di 15 447 km², essendo l'ottava area metropolitana più popolata del Brasile. Curitiba è stata fondata verso la fine del Seicento da coloni portoghesi, ma con l'apertura di collegamenti con altre città, soprattutto con quelle della costa, è divenuta un importante centro commerciale e industriale. Nel 1853 divenne la capitale della provincia del Paraná, e da allora la città ha subito una crescita sempre più costante, grazie all'arrivo di numerosi immigrati europei nel XIX secolo, per la maggiore parte tedeschi, polacchi, ucraini e italiani che ha contribuito a rendere la città culturalmente eterogenea. Nel corso della propria storia, la città ha sperimentato diversi piani urbanistici e messo in atto legislazioni per contenere la crescita incontrollata della città, al punto da divenire nota in tutto il modo per le sue innovazioni e la cura dell'ambiente urbano. Tuttora è una metropoli fortemente cosmopolita, ed è considerata la capitale con la migliore qualità della vita di tutto il Brasile, con un polo industriale talmente diversificato da raggiungere il quarto posto tra le città più economicamente avanzate dell'America Latina. Nel 2007, secondo la rivista nord-americana Reader's Digest, è la città con la migliore qualità della vita di tutto il Brasile. Curitiba ospita l'Università Federale del Paraná, considerata la prima università del Brasile, fondata nel 1912. È inoltre la città con i più alti indici educativi di tutto il paese: presenta infatti dei bassissimi tassi di analfabetismo ed un'alta qualità d'istruzione. Nel 2010 è stata premiata come la città più ecosostenibile del mondo ai Globe Sustainable City Award, concorso che è stato istituito per riconoscere quelle città che si distinguono per il loro sviluppo urbano eco-sostenibile.

- 쿠리치바는 브라질 파라나 주의 주도이다. 브라질 남부에서 가장 인구가 많으며 경제 규모도 크다. IBGE에 따르면 최근 이 도시의 GDP 수치는 170억$에 달했다. 이 도시의 도시권 지역은 총 3,261,168명이 사는 26개의 자치구로 나뉜다. 쿠리치바는 브라질에서 정치,경제,문화의 중요한 중심지이다. 이도시는 해발 932m의 고지에 자리잡고 있으며, 서쪽의 파라나구아항에서 105km 떨어져 있다. 알폰수 페나 국제공항이 있다. 원래 이 도시 경제는 남쪽의 가축 농장과 북쪽의 시장 사이인 입지 조건 때문에 가축 교역에 기반을 두고 있었다. 1850년대부터 유럽 이민자들이 밀려왔는데 주로 독일, 이탈리아, 폴란드, 우크라이나 등지 출신이었으며, 쿠리치바의 성장에 기여했다. 그러나 오늘날 쿠리치바에는 외국인 이민자가 적으며, 그나마도 중동이나 남아메리카 국가에서 온 사람들이다. 그러나 브라질 국내의 다른 주에서 많은 이주자들이 몰려왔다. 그래서 현재 쿠리치바 인구 중 대략 절반은 이 도시 태생이 아니다. 쿠리치바에는 브라질 최초의 대학인 파라나 연방 대학교가 있으며, 이 대학이 들어선 1913년에 도시에 최초로 노면 전차가 부설되었다.
- Curitiba is een stad en gemeente in de zuidoostelijke regio van Brazilië. Het is de op 934 meter hoogte gelegen hoofdstad van de staat Paraná en heeft circa 1,8 miljoen inwoners, waarmee het de grootste stad van het zuiden is. Curitiba is in 1654 gesticht en kreeg op 29 maart 1693 de titel 'dorpsgemeente'. In die tijd was Curitiba nog bekend onder de naam "Nossa Senhora da Luz dos Pinhais". In 1721 werd de naam veranderd naar Curitiba dankzij de duizenden pijnbomen die in het gebied staan. In de 1853 werd de staat São Paulo opgedeeld in twee stukken. Curitiba, dat in 1842 stadsrechten had gekregen, werd de hoofdstad van het nieuw gevormde Paraná. Vooral in de laatste twee eeuwen werd Curitiba overspoeld met Europese immigranten van vooral Duitse, Poolse, Italiaanse en Oekraïense oorsprong. Over de herkomst van de naam bestaan twee theorieën. De indianenstammen Tupi, Jê en Guarani gebruikten de woorden "coré" (pijnboompit) en "etuba" (veel) om de plek van de stad te omschrijven. Dit zou later zijn verbasterd tot Curitiba. De andere theorie is dat het de woorden Kurit (pijnboom) en Yba (grote hoeveelheid) waren die uiteindelijk tot de stadsnaam hebben geleid.

- Куритиба (можливо також написання Курітіба, порт. Curitiba) — місто в Бразилії, столиця штату Парана. У 2006 році населення міста складало біля 1,78 млн. чоловік. Міська агломерація Куритиби охоплює 26 муніципалітетів із загальною чисельністю населення понад 3,2 млн.. Куритиба є найбільшим і одним з найважливіших міст Південного регіону, будучи культурним, політичним і економічним центром. Головний аеропорт Куритиби, Міжнародний аеропорт Афонсу Пена, — один з найсучасніших бразильських терміналів і другий найбільш важливий аеропорт в Південній Бразилії. Місто знаходиться на плато на висоті 932 м вище рівня моря, за 105 км на захід від морського порту Паранагуа. Мешканці Куритиби називаються куритибанцями (Curitibanos). За поширеною думкою, назва «Куритиба» походить від слів мови тупі kurí tyba — «багато сосен», завдяки великому числу бразильських сосен, що ростуть в регіоні. Португальці, які заснували місто в 1693 році, надали йому назву «Vila da Nossa Senhora da Luz dos Pinhais» (Село Нашої Богородиці Світла в Сосняку). Назва була змінена на «Curitiba» в 1721 році. Куритиба офіційно стала містом в 1842 році. Її зростання було викликано вигідною торгівлею рогатою худобою, через стратегічне розташування міста на пів-шляху між фермами Півдня і ринками Півночі. Хвилі європейських іммігрантів почали прибувати до міста після 1850 року, переважно німці, італійці, поляки і українці. Зараз у Куритибі знаходиться найбільша кількість етнічних українців у Бразилії, хоча вони й загалом асимільовані у португаломовне суспільство. Федеральний університет штату Парана (Universidade Federal do Paraná), перший повноцінний університет Бразилії, був заснований в Куритибі в 1913 році, в тому ж році, коли у місті був запущений перший трамвай.
