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

Since February 2024, IPPUC and Curitiba's IT secretariat (Smap) have run the Hipervisor Urbano from an operations center in the Palácio da Inovação, pooling live feeds from the Muralha Digital camera network, the Central 156 hotline, traffic and civil-defense control rooms, and the water and power utilities to support planning and emergency response.

Live 📅 since 2024
Scale🏙️ City-wide
Cost≈R$5.7M budgeted for 2024 (mostly new IPPUC staff positions)

🎓 Lesson

Nearly a year after launch it was still partly a pilot: in March 2025 the city was testing a Waze traffic-monitoring feed inside the platform, with AI-driven preventive action described as a future step, not yet running.
