Abstract
Received on: 10/20/2018 Accepted on: 12/18/2018 ABSTRACT In order to bolster the concept of sustainable territorial development in conjunction with the three capitals — natural, social, and built capital —, a conceptual methodology was elaborated. It utilized the infrastructure systems to group indicator dimensions of built capital, highlighting what actually corresponds to the territorial development reality and not just economic growth. This resulted in the selection of 70 indicators that were tested with data from the Curitiba Metropolitan Region (CMR). Thirty-five indicators were selected from the data available to evaluate the development in 29 municipalities that form the CMR. Finally, the Sustainable Territorial Development Index (INFRASTDI) and Inequality Index (II) were proposed to summarize the information collected.
