With the goal of disseminating knowledge about walkability and inspiring other cities and public administrations, the Instituto Caminhabilidade is launching three mini web documentaries and a three-part podcast series detailing the winning projects of the 2023 Walkable City Award: Rua da Gente, in the municipality of Benevides, Pará; the Novo Horizonte and Region Neighborhood Plan, in the municipality of Jundiaí, São Paulo; and the Infrastructure in Education and Sanitation Program (Proinfra) in Fortaleza, the capital of Ceará.

Addressing the climate crisis requires an urgent transformation of urban lifestyles, as cities are the largest polluters and energy consumers, primarily due to the excessive use of motorized vehicles. Promoting cities where people can actively commute—on foot or by bicycle—for their daily activities is the path championed by the Instituto Caminhabilidade. To this end, the institute created the Walkable City Award (Prêmio Cidade Caminhável), which recognizes and inspires actions for walkable cities in Brazil.
