In 1980s the Mayor of Curitiba worked with a team to design and create a "healthy" city. They wanted to include green areas, waste recycling and transportation projects.
In curitiba the poor people go to a green-point and there they can exchange their trust for food, like rice, beans, eggs, bus tickets...that the city buys inexpensively to the state's farmers. Also the poor people can bring their own food that they farm to exchange with other people to get other products.
The people there use the bus for most all, so they don't contaminate the atmosphere and they don't need to buy fuel, so they can use this money for other things.
Also they don't need a lot of factories to produce things and the people come to the green point instead of the car.
Now the city can recycle and reduce the 70% of the total waste.
