Curitiba built a 'city brain' with 25 data scientists and a French-/IDB-backed operations center. A year in, its flagship AI ambition was still just a Waze pilot — real-time isn't the same as predictive yet.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

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.
🎓 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.
