ABSTRACT
The Agache plan had proposed that growth should take place in a concentric manner from the centre out. A zoning map was drawn up accordingly. In 1965 a new master plan was proposed as the result of the competition. The winning scheme of Brazilian Jorge Wilheim proposed that growth should take place in a radial, linear manner spreading out from the centre so that transportation routes could be most easily be integrated with new development
and vice versa (see Figures 10.7 and 10.8). The Plano Diretor changed the growth pattern of Curitiba. It also focused on the promotion of industrial development and simultaneously on the enhancement of the environmental quality of the city. The implementation of this vision took place through a large number of architectural and urban design projects that were plugged into the transportation system.
