Evidence snapshot for Curitiba
Curitiba's Solo Criado shows that the city has used transferable development rights since the 1990s to preserve forest and green space, formalised in Law 9,804/2000, which allows landowners to sell unused building rights to developers elsewhere rather than face construction bans. Green space per resident rose from under 1m² in 1970 to approximately 52m² today, with the city now designating 50 Conservation Units including 22 municipal parks and 16 protected woods. However, the evidence does not quantify ecosystem outcomes (carbon storage, water quality, species counts) specifically tied to the transferable-development-rights mechanism itself, as opposed to the city's broader parks programme.
