This article proposes the reading of the MRC literature in two separate periods (1975-1988 and 1989-2006). The literature about the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba in the analyzed period indicates that the first period focused on changes of the urban and metropolitan areas, such as the expansion of urbanization and industrialization; the institutionalization started in Paraná and Curitiba; theories resonance and contacts with the foreign planners. From the 1980s, with the return of democracy and the new economic conditions, new subjects were analyzed, such as the peripherization, social and environmental issues. The years 1990 and 2000 recovered already discussed subjects and addressed new ones, especially from the economic and social conditions that were placed. The reported scenario conclude that even though not recognized by the Curitiba city planning process, the MRC planning has been object of research, with gaps when compared to planning studies performed in different scales. That is due to either the consolidation of a hegemonic thought that delimitates the metropolitan planning as problematic on one hand, or to the close relationship between politics, especially of the city pole, and academy, which by times, corroborates the political position to other.
