2024 Intelligent Community of the Year recipient, Curitiba, Parana, Brazil, Part 1
In this episode of The Intelligent Community, ICF Co-Founder Lou Zacharilla speaks with Dario Paixao, City Secretary for Economic Development, Innovation and Artificial Intelligence.
Curitiba, Brazil. Ever heard of it? Ever been there? Ever seen or read stories about the building of its railroad and its history of innovation? Ever wonder how a city can be sustainable and flourishing? How about Rafael Greca? Ever heard of him? The outgoing Mayor of Curitiba is one of the most amazing people in the Intelligent Community movement – and a politician who is such an authentic human being – that Pope Francis invited him to the Vatican to discuss Curitiba’s remarkable programs for addressing food insecurity. Curitiba has won so many “Smart City” awards that its shelves are full. It got the big one in November 2024 in Barcelona, when it was named Intelligent Community of the Year. What’s going on there? In this episode, we speak with Dario Paixao, the city’s Secretary for Economic Development, Innovation and Artificial Intelligence, in a conversation with a city that has been climbing the smart city and Intelligent Community mountain for decades.
