The Urban and Environmental Policy Commission (CPUA) of CAU/BR will produce supplemental educational materials on architecture and urbanism for elementary and middle school classrooms. Developed in partnership with Pistache Editorial, the project aims to bring urban planning discussions into schools to help build better cities in the future. The goal is to foster students' critical perspective on the urban environment, helping them understand the city as a space with multiple historical layers.
Designed for non-specialist audiences, the urban planning material will highlight the importance of viewing urban space as a venue for debate and social interaction, based on the premise that the city can serve as a backdrop for various academic disciplines.
The first phase began with surveys conducted by Pistache Editorial among elementary and middle school teachers and pedagogical coordinators. Architects and urban planners who wish to contribute to the initiative are invited to share this information with teachers or coordinators within this target audience.

The survey aims to understand how concepts related to urban dynamics are currently addressed in schools and how they can be applied more effectively, as well as the most efficient ways to get these urban planning materials to teachers for use in the classroom.
