IPPUC

Since 1965, the Institute for Research and Urban Planning of Curitiba (IPPUC) has been the driving force behind Curitiba's global recognition as a model city in sustainable and innovative urban planning. As a pioneering municipal authority in Brazil, IPPUC brings together a multidisciplinary team that conceives, monitors, and guides the implementation of the city's Master Plan. Our legacy is built on innovations that have transformed Curitiba into a global beacon of sustainability, smart urban mobility, and quality of life. We are the institution that not only shaped the city's present but also remains attentive to signs of the future. At IPPUC, our responsibility goes beyond traditional planning: we anticipate trends, develop strategic solutions, and offer innovative paths so that Curitiba continues to be a reference in intelligent and human-centered urban development. Our commitment is to ensure that every citizen experiences the city in the best possible way, today and for generations to come, maintaining Curitiba as a global example of excellence in urban research and planning.
