1.3million people live in 750 favela’s

Bairro Project – a scheme designed to provide inhabitants with essential services such as paved roads, water supply and drainage systems and relocation of families

Increase in car ownership has caused an increase in traffic and congestion

Improvement in public transport; new metro systems are being built and existing lines expanded The completion of the road Elevado do Joa. This road is a one way road within the rush hour times (6.30-10.00 & 18.00-20.00) Tolled motorways ease congestion and help commuters from long distances (Linha Vermelha, Linha Amarela)

Education of favela inhabitants is very poor, therefore there is high levels of youth involved in crime
