Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the transport landscape of Belo Horizonte. Belo Horizonte, located in the southeast region, is the capital of Minas Gerais and the first planned city in Brazil in the late 1890 s. Nowadays, the city has 2.3 millions residents , and almost 99% of its residents live in urban areas. Rapid population growth that is out of step with urban and transportation planning has brought challenges to displacement of the population in our times. This article presents the background of Belo Horizonte, with the historical, geographical, demographic, and social context, the transport infrastructure, and the current transportation development agenda. The overview could support further work using Belo Horizonte as a study area.
