Description
Summary:Londrina (Paraná, Brazil) was founded in the late twenties on the coffee pioneer front. Eighty years later, the regional capital of Northern Paraná has 500 000 inhabitants. Satellite images and maps prepared by a Franco-Brazilian team reveals the stages of its growth and today's problems (expansion, circulation, segregation, degradation of the environment). Both successes and problems make Londrina an exemplary case amongst Brazilian cities, as it has run in less than a century the complete cycle from birth to maturity.
