What a pity! Brazilian city are never commented, or at least they are commented by other Brazilians and always by the same non-Brazilians. There is no need to post it in this eurocentristic and americanistic section as well as in citytalk and urban issues. It is sad!!! :ohno: :sleepy:

Brazilian cities always look so beautiful. Many of the buildings look like they were built in the 1970s though. Did Brazil have a heyday of construction in the 70s?
Osaka experienced a lull in development during the 1990s after the go-go years of the 60s,70s and 80s so most of the buildings here look 25 years and older.

That is sad if people don't respond to brazilian city posts. I love seeing them! Thanks for these great pics of PO (especially that panorama!). PO looks alot bigger than 1,3 million, though. Is that just the city population? What's the metro?

its city only pop. As Psychadelic already answered, the metro pop is 3,7 million. But other cities in the metro all have their own skylines with lots of highrises.

in this photo, you can see the skylines of Novo Hamburgo (front) and São Leopoldo (back), two cities that belong to the metro area of Porto Alegre. Novo Hamburgo has 250k people and São Leopoldo 200k.

It looks like a beautiful modern city!
Brazil is a great country with wonerful cities :)

I like that big city look that almost all Brazilian cities have. P.A looks great along with her suburbs. Definitely my favorite country of Latin America without a doubt.

Aces, the Porto Alegre metro pop is 4,1 million, numbers of 2006 (IBGE est.).

Yes, that's it!

Building = Prédio(in Portuguese)

The downtown looks beautiful but the city overall lacks identity. It isn't known for beauty like RJ or for business like Sao Paolo or government like Brasilia or parties like Salvador. It needs to get an identity or it will always be a typical Brasilian city and there are hundreds of those. In other words, it isn't unique but charming nonetheless.

I live in POA and i can tell you, the downtown is the worst part of the city and is ugly, the others parts of the city are much more beautiful. Porto Alegre isn't a touristic city, is a business city like Sampa...

The state of Rio Grande do Sul(where stay Porto Alegre) is much different than others parts of Brazil. Here is cold and the culture is much diffent...

Nice pics. 3ª perimetral is a new downton?

I luv Poa

Awesome pics! Brazil is such a cool country - I'm going there next year for the first time!

^^ Cool..what city you gonna visit?

Very beautiful, it's the first time that I see Porto Alegre this way, I though that it was an ugly grey city like São Paulo but I was wrong. Sometimes it remember me Californian cities. This red cars are taxis? if yes, it's curious. In Brazil, the colors of taxicabs are very changeable in each part of the country, in Curitiba they're orange.

brizile cities are very morden.

115. MAISON TED LAPIDUS - me parece que com um apartamento por andar incluindo uma piscina por andar.
Este prédio foi inaugurado há uns 10 anos mais ou menos, tendo a presença na inauguração do famoso estilista francês.
Em Porto Alegre temos também a MAISON PACO RABANE, que retratarei em breve (fica no Bairro Boa Vista)

118. Aqui um lugar que achei muito bonito: uma casa antiga preservada pela construtora do prédio que se localiza junto dela.
Uma solução que deveria ser adotada mais vezes. Há outros casos desses no Bairro Moinhos de Vento.

Aguardem que em breve farei outra caminhada mais pro lado da Avenida Nilo Peçanha, e clicarei outros belos prédios na região (ainda bairro Bela Vista).
Será a parte 3 do thread.


Espero que tenham gostado do bairro e das fotos.

Looks like another interesting Brazilian city.

well knew as poa

OK! I am going to make a public announcement here. Everyone PLEASE LIMIT the number of
these old threads you bump up. Mares de Morros_XXI, you have bumped up way too many at a time. This makes a great deal of work for moderators.

Brazilian cities always look so beautiful. Many of the buildings look like they were built in the 1970s though. Did Brazil have a heyday of construction in the 70s?
Osaka experienced a lull in development during the 1990s after the go-go years of the 60s,70s and 80s so most of the buildings here look 25 years and older.

I think since 50s Hirakatashi at least. If you see pictures that age you can see a building spreads in the most of the brazilian cities.

so beautifull!

Your photos are amazing! Really enjoyed them.. I will move this now to the Urban Showcase section for original photographs! :)

Cool photos of my hometown...missing it heaps though!
