Brazil urban planning and smart‑city initiatives

Overview

In late July 2026 Brazil hosted a series of events spotlighting the future of its cities. The Connected Smart Cities Regional Strategic Meeting in Criciúma featured Abadeus executive Shirlei Monteiro, who urged that smart‑city projects explicitly serve vulnerable groups and highlighted the nonprofit’s track record in job creation and training. A week later, the Forum Londrina Cidades Inteligentes convened municipal leaders, private‑sector CEOs and researchers, culminating in a partnership protocol to replicate Vitória’s high‑ranking smart‑city model in other municipalities.

Around the same period, architect Francisco Cunha delivered a lecture on long‑term urban planning for São Paulo’s centennial, emphasizing mobility, housing, heritage preservation and sustainability. Shortly after, the CASACOR São Paulo Architecture and Urbanism Forum addressed mobility, centre‑city revitalisation, housing retrofits and the social role of urbanism, bringing together officials and industry leaders.

On August 30, 2026, a further lecture by Francisco Cunha was held in Paulista as part of the 21st anniversary of the Movimento Pró‑Museu. Organized by the Paulista Centenária platform, the event focused on strategic, long‑term planning ahead of the city’s 2035 centennial, citing examples such as the Recife 500 Anos project and historic‑tree preservation. Municipal and cultural officials participated, reinforcing the broader national dialogue on inclusive, resilient urban development.
