Abstract

In this paper, the Curitiba-centered narrative on the success of its urban planning experience,  will be qualified in light of the complexities of its metropolitan development trajectory. It will  be claimed that the institutional vacuum that surrounds Brazilian metropolitan areas in general,  and Greater Curitiba in particular, has been intensified by the emergence of a competitive and  rescaled state spatial regime, which has consolidated a fragmented and neolocalist system of  governance. Preliminary empirical evidence will be provided on the challenges that are being faced within the new regime in articulating socio-spatial, economic and environmental strategies  into the direction of a more sustainable metropolitan future.
