João Pessoa urban maintenance and digital transformation

Overview

The municipal Secretariat of Infrastructure (Seinfra) has continued its weekly “tapa-buraco” road-maintenance program. While operations reached 55 neighborhoods in late August 2026, the scope adjusted to 44 neighborhoods by early September 2026. By September 10, 2026, maintenance operations concluded with pothole repairs covering 36 neighborhoods. On September 13, 2026, Seinfra launched a new series of maintenance operations targeting 30 neighborhoods. Managed by the Directorate of Road Maintenance and Drainage, this program focuses on pothole repairs, drainage networks, storm drains, and public lighting to address citizen requests. To facilitate these services, the City Hall encourages residents to use the “João Pessoa na Palma da Mão” mobile application to report issues. Concurrently, the Municipal Urban Cleaning Authority (Emlur) is performing cleaning and conservation services across various sectors of the capital. Recent updates indicate that the city is also conducting extensive maintenance on public markets, cemeteries, and health units. In response to historical flooding, the city launched a major rainwater drainage project in the Aratu community with an investment exceeding R$1 million. Beyond infrastructure, the city is expanding social and urban development through the “Caravana do Cuidar” program and maintenance actions by the Secretariat of Urban Development (Sedurb). In mid-September 2026, urban revitalization and security efforts intensified. The Inovacentro Secretariat presented its Historic Center revitalization plan to the State Public Prosecutor's Office, proposing tax incentives and housing projects. To bolster public safety, Mayor Leo Bezerra appointed 51 new civil guards and announced specialized units for the environment, the coastline, and the Historic Center. Additionally, the Secretariat of Urban Services and Maintenance (Sesuz) has expanded cleaning and painting operations. By September 16, 2026, Seinfra reported pothole repairs across 31 neighborhoods. Furthermore, the city has authorized a R$14 million LED lighting modernization project for the coastline, including the Manaíra and Cabo Branco areas.
