How this atlas is made · What “last verified” means

IPPUC's GeoCuritiba platform, launched in March 2022, replaced static maps with a live cadastral GIS: a 47-layer parcel, zoning and boundary database plus Curitiba 3D, a photorealistic model built from aerial and laser survey data that simulates shadows and measures building height, street width and façade area for planners and engineers.

Live 📅 since 2022

Outcome🔄 Ongoing

Run byIPPUC (Instituto de Pesquisa e Planejamento Urbano de Curitiba)

Scale🏙️ City-wide

🎓 Lesson

Access is tiered — full editing stays inside IPPUC's own technical team and a restricted layer, while the public-facing version is a viewer onto curated map galleries, not an open, editable dataset.
