Curitiba will host games of the World Championship of Soccer 2014. The city is, therefore, target of great urban interventions, especially the construction of new transport routes seeking to improve the urban mobility, to promote the densification, the verticalization and the diversification of the use of buildings along the respective road axes. The important alterations that, this way, will be produced in the urban form will provoke transformations in the urban climatic conditions and in the thermal comfort. Like this, this text presents relative results to the conformation of the climatic conditions and of thermal comfort of this city, as well it points as future sceneries of their amendment as consequence of the urban transformations designed. The methodology of the research is the Urban Climate System - UCS (MONTEIRO 2003) and it is structured in the following steps: 1) modelling of the form and urban function; 2) survey data of temperature and relative humidity of the air in places previously defined with base in the built typology and urban zoning; 3) construction of sceneries for the urban climate and thermal comfort considering the future urban transformations. For development of the study were accomplished experiments on specific points of two main structural axes of the traffic circulation in execution in the city: 1) the Green Line; and 2) the Axis of the Subway. This study aims to contribute for the public policy planning and urban management in Curitiba, to guarantee the thermal comfort for the urban life.
