History

The ministry was created on January 1, 2003, at the start of the first presidency of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula). According to The Guardian, "the ministry was set up to tackle the urban chaos of Brazil’s traffic-clogged megacities."

The post was maintained under the subsequent presidencies of Dilma Rousseff and Michel Temer. When Jair Bolsonaro became president on 1 January 2019, he merged the position with the Ministry of National Integration to form the Ministry of Regional Development, under minister Gustavo Canuto.

When Lula became president for the second time, he re-established the ministry on January 1, 2023. Jader Barbalho Filho was appointed Minister of Cities, who pledged to rebuild the {{Interlanguage link|Minha Casa, Minha Vida|pt}} public housing program.{{Cite web |title=Governo Lula: acompanhe o segundo dia de posse dos ministros |url=https://oglobo.globo.com/politica/ao-vivo/posse-do-lula-acompanhe-os-preparativos-a-cerimonia-oficial-os-discursos-e-a-festa-na-esplanada.ghtml |access-date=2023-01-13 |website=O Globo |language=pt-br}}
