A Serra Pelada do Urbanismo: uma história do planejamento metropolitano no Paraná e Curitiba

Abstract

The institutional arrangement of urban planning constituted in Brazil, mainly from the 1950s onwards, enabled the formation of technical staff and new experiences, where plans were produced, but not always executed. Exception recurrently presented of this fact is the city of Curitiba, capital of the state of Paraná. This managed to implement a continuous planning process, with more than five decades, materialized in an institution and plans that gave it its current urban characteristics and were active marketing used by politicians and planners as a success story. But, not all spaces are within the planning. If Curitiba is pointed out as a planning model, the metropolitan planning in the region surrounding the capital did not receive the same recognition. Even though the process of metropolitan planning in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba (RMC) also has its responsible institution and a already considerable planning time (forty years in 2014) - elements pointed out in the literature as the basis of the case of Curitiba - as well as receiving and transferring technicians to its municipal equivalent, metropolitan planning does not achieved the same success as that of the pole municipality. In this way, through the study of institutions, agents, plans, projects and programs, this book seeks to reconstruct the process of metropolitan planning in Paraná, presenting the actions carried out, especially the feld of action of the Coordination of the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba (COMEC). Divided into five phases, the time frame has as its starting point the elaboration of Study 40 and the arrival of Ney Braga to state power, that resulted in the administrative restructuring of the Government of the State of Paraná, in 1961, followed by the reformulation of the administration of the City Hall of Curitiba under the auspices of the Brazilian Institute of Municipal Administration (IBAM), in 1963, and point of arrival at the promulgation of the Metropolis Statute, by the Federal Government, in 2015.
