Description:

The purpose of this programme has been to understand and learn how the City of Sao Paulo has achieved breakthroughs, constructed, converted and manipulated their “favelas” that have grown exponentially in Brazils’ urban environment over the decades. The City of Sao Paulo and eThekwini Municipality have achieved important milestones with regards to the provision of housing. However, eThekwini’s emphasis has been providing housing units whilst the provision of social, recreational, public transport, culturaland economic facilities has not been satisfactory prioritised. Learning from the Sao Paulo experience will enhance eThekwini’sfuture efforts of upgrading informal settlements and transforming them into viable places to reside.
