Poços de Caldas urban management initiatives

Overview

The municipality of Poços de Caldas has introduced several urban management initiatives. In early October 2026, the City Hall opened a public bidding process to implement a smart traffic light system. Managed by the Municipal Secretariat of Public Security and Urban Mobility, the project intends to use artificial intelligence and cameras to adjust signals in real time based on vehicle and pedestrian volume.

Shortly after, the municipality enacted Law No. 10.168, establishing a policy to confront the abandonment of urban properties. This legislation creates a municipal registry to monitor buildings that may impact public safety and health. While the policy prioritizes voluntary regularization through owner notification, it includes measures such as progressive property tax, compulsory building use, or expropriation to ensure properties serve their social function.
