Linear ParksWith 97 percent of works
completed and delivery imminent, the
Doca Linear Park has already transformed
Belém’s urban landscape. Drainage and
de-pollution of the Doca canal brought
environmental improvements and
created a new leisure space featuring
landscaping (including the planting of
200 trees), walkways, lookouts, kiosks, a
children’s playground, outdoor gym, and
bike path.The Tamandaré Linear Park,
92 percent complete and set for delivery
in September, spans 1.4 kilometres of
canal with drainage and sewage works, a
substation for tidal control, landscaping,
kiosks, bike paths, a playground, and an
outdoor gym—enhancing community life
and quality of life for residents.
Urban MobilityThe redevelopment of
hundreds of streets and avenues across
Belém—some already completed and
delivered—is transforming daily life in the
city. Among them, Rua da Marinha stands
out, with expansion, paving, extension,
and duplication works along 3.5
kilometres, linking six neighbourhoods
in the capital. The road will be widened
from two to six lanes, with two segments
connected by a roundabout. Covering an
area of 255,000 m², already transferred
to the state government, the intervention
will significantly improve mobility in
the region.LegacyWith all these projects
underway, Belém is preparing not only
to host one of the world’s most important
climate events but also to offer its residents
a more modern and sustainable city. The
infrastructure investments represent a
legacy that extends well beyond COP30.
“The city is increasingly
ready to welcome visitors
and delegations from all
over the world.”
