Proper construction materials are used and their footprint is a bit like medieval cities.
Rio de Janeiro has even bigger and more visible slums (Rocinha, Vidigal, Cantagalo, etc.) and many became tourist attractions for foreigners. They also follow this pattern.
As rural exodus, big regional migrations ended long ago and population now growth became low, new slums don't appear anymore and possible occupations are dealt quickly by the municipalities. |
Sao Paulo has some crazy juxtapositions with rich and poor living adjacent to each other. I remember exploring this area last time I was there:
