Professor Circe Monteiro in Russia.
In 2018 Urban Factory invite Professor Circe Monteiro into Russia. Head of Research Institute INCITI – Center for Research and Innovation to Improve the Urban Environment, Professor at the Federal University of Pernambuco
Thanks to the support of colleagues from the RANEPA, on October 3, the professor gave a lecture in Moscow: “A linear park along the Capibaribe River: management, architecture, society, and ecology.”
On October 5, in Rostov-on-Don, Circe Monteiro took part in the conference “Small rivers in large cities.” The conference brought together specialists, experts, officials and representatives of the public of Rostov and the region around the development of the project of the linear park of the Temernik River. The professor shared her own experience in developing a linear park project along the Capibaribe River, in the city of Recife in northeast Brazil. This is a new park along the Capibaribe River with a length of 15 kilometers, which is a system of public spaces connected into a single system of the city’s green frame. It is interesting to note that colleagues from Brazil went through the implementation of a long-term large-scale project by dividing them into small blocks. For example, Baoba Park has already been implemented, around a huge ancient tree and a number of other public spaces. On the one hand, these are individual elements of the city, on the other, they are all connected by a common concept and subsequently become part of a single linear park.
The next day, as part of the cultural program of the conference, a picnic and an excursion near the Temernik River were organized in the territory of the Nadezhda sanatorium, where Circe Monteiro planted two pine trees. Professor Circe Monteiro noted that she now has roots in Russia, which will give her additional reasons to come again and again.
In continuation of the cultural program, the professor spent a day in one of the oldest cities in Russia. A visit to the Azov Historical, Archaeological and Paleontological Museum-Reserve with a two-hour guided tour, which introduced Prof. Monteiro to the wide and varied history of the country and the region.
A working meeting was held with the ANO “Park Temernik” to exchange the experience of tools and management of the Temernik team and Professor Monteiro. The result was the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the ANO “Park Temernik” and the Research Institute “INCITI” by the leaders Yuri Pogrebshchikov and Circe Monteiro.

Capibaribe Linear Park Project
City features on the water
The city of Recife, in northeast Brazil, has increased interest in its main river. The Capibaribe Park project is an innovation, as it is jointly developed by the local municipality and a transdisciplinary research team from the Federal University of Pernambuco. The strategic plan focuses on environmental, spatial and social issues and constitutes the foundation that will contribute to the future urban vision as a Green City by 2037 (the year of the 500th anniversary of Recife).
The project is in search of urban restructuring points, based on expanding the potential and qualities of existing public spaces and free areas, a priority for public and non-motorized vehicles and structuring vital and sustainable places. One of the main problems in this project is the involvement of citizens in the river and the transformation of the city.
Born in the city of Curitiba (Curitiba), in the family of an architect.
In addition to the Park project, Capibaribe is implementing a project in several regions of Brazil together with the Brazilian Ministry of Culture to create cultural centers in remote villages and small towns of the country.
