GeoCuritiba / Curitiba 3D

Curitiba’s municipal planning institute provides public geographic information through GeoCuritiba, including terrain, buildings, and a photorealistic 3D city model. The municipality documents the public portal and planning uses. This entry describes the existing spatial model, separately from the newer virtual twin initiative for integrated municipal maintenance.

Use cases

Urban visualization and planning.

Physical-system connection

No sensor or operational-data connection to the physical system is established by the retained evidence. Geometry, registers, modeled estimates or spatial layers alone do not establish that connection.

Decision workflow

See the documented use cases. A planning or visualization use case alone does not establish a maintained operational data workflow.

Classification basis

The retained evidence establishes a 3D spatial model or map. A connected twin is not established for this specific listing; capabilities of a wider municipal platform are not automatically attributed to its public viewer.

Palestra: GeoCuritiba na prática - Mapa cadastral e suas potencialidades

Project presentation

The Paraná Engineering Institute hosts a Portuguese-language presentation about GeoCuritiba’s cadastral map and related municipal geographic tools. Its description explicitly includes Curitiba 3D, historical maps and thematic information within the same portal. This contextual presentation concerns GeoCuritiba, not Curitiba’s separate 3DEXPERIENCE urban-maintenance twin initiative.

Endpoint checks verify link health. They do not certify that every 3D layer, simulation, or data feed works. Public access and lifecycle are assessed separately.
