The present article aims to contextualize the challenges of urban space governance in the
anthropocentric period, correlating with the case of floods, and drainage problems in the city of
Belém. Literature on the concept of anthropocene was cited, which guided the discussion in the
multidisciplinarity of the concept, and also its importance for the context of political
governance. In addition, literature on physical geography was cited in order to conceptualize the
events denominated as floods, and drainage problems, as well as to base the conception of
anthropogenic activity as a central element in the genesis of events. The results point out that
anthropogenic activity is responsible for a large part of the problem of socio-environmental
risks in urban spaces, and especially in Belém. In addition, the Anthropocene era demands the
advance of mechanisms of political governance, especially in urban spaces.
