The municipal government of Curitiba has announced several administrative and developmental updates. The city was named a finalist for the 2026 World Smart City Awards for its Bairro Novo do Caximba project, an initiative aimed at transforming high-risk areas into secure neighborhoods through urban infrastructure and environmental recovery. This project is supported by the French Development Agency and municipal funding.

In tandem with urban development, the city has projected a record budget for 2027, with proposed revenues and expenses of R$ 16.58 billion. Additionally, the city hall has implemented a 15% salary increase for over 6,500 civil servants as part of the 2025 Vertical Growth program, a career progression measure that will increase the monthly municipal payroll by approximately R$ 10 million.
