Santarém is an urban area located in the west of the state of Pará, located at a strategic point according to the logistical perspective, that is, a privileged geographical position and because of its location it has become a strong Amazonian trading post, serving as a regional capital. Factors that gave it a fundamental role in the Amazonian occupation, becoming an important urban center, having visibility for investments in international enterprises, in addition to governmental structuring, such as hospitals, universities and roads. All these aspects made the city go through an urban expansion, following the river and the highway axis, and as a result this study aimed to analyze the evolution of the Santarém urban spot from 1984 to 2020, in order to reach the proposal of the article it was necessary to collect information and create a database for the elaboration of maps using the Google Earth Pro software, and after that, an analysis of Santarém's urban growth was carried out. Resulting in the understanding of the influence generated by the streams that functioned as natural barriers preventing urban growth during a certain period that were later overcome by the city, it is notable that Santarém, as a riverside city, suffered the action of the Tapajós River in its beginning as an urban center, but currently its expansion takes place in parallel with the three roadways, in addition to being in the process of peripheralization without planning and support, creating places of housing without adequate infrastructure for housing.
