Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão acerca do processo de modernização que se desencadeou em Belém, capital do estado do Pará, na Amazônia brasileira entre 1930 e 1960. Destaca aspectos dessa modernização que se observam nas infraestruturas de transportes, no sistema viário e nas redes de água e esgotamento sanitário. No intuito de refletir acerca dos meios pelos quais as ideias e práticas urbanas defendidas pelo estamento local –estado, empresas contratadas e sociedade civil– conformaram a capital, o artigo utiliza fontes como os relatórios da administração municipal, estadual e das companhias e demais agentes relacionados às mudanças operadas na capital, bem como da cartografia, para representar as transformações observadas. Com o auxílio destes meios documentais, constatou-se que para a concretização dessa modernização, foram determinantes os interesses financeiros e ideológicos dos agentes responsáveis pela conformação da paisagem belenense, priorizando as áreas de cotas mais altas da cidade, onde se concentravam, nesse momento, os grupos sociais de maior poder aquisitivo.
