Abstract

For more than five decades, Curitiba (Brazil) has implemented a continuous process of planning, shaped by institutions and plans that were used as Í€œsuccess case propagandaÍ€ used by politicians and planners. However, if Curitiba was entitled as a planning model, the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba (MRC) did not obtain such recognition, even though it has been a responsible institution for a considerable amount of time (forty years in 2014) Í€” elements pointed out in the literature as bases of the success of Curitiba Í€” as well as received and transferred technicians to its municipal equivalent. As a result of this analysis, based on an historiographical method, we conclude that the region did not take advantage of the poles' differential of planning and quality of life, on the contrary, the deepening of the planning process contributed to increase social differences, land value in the capital, and in restricting the access of those who arrived to the city attracted by the citizenship that seemed to be offered.
