Slums, shantytowns & favelas the consequences of rapid urbanization The Human Face of Rapid Urbanization

Two videos yesterday; India and Bangladesh how are they similar? Slums/Shantytowns: are located in developing nations. Why? -Other countries such as UK, US already ‘developed’ infrastructure -Recent ‘population boom’ mostly in developing nations -Rural-urban migration and promise of better life sends people to city

Location: slums are located on the edge of urban LIC areas; it is the first place migrants come to, land is cheap (free), there is less surveillance from city

Rocinha, Rio de Janiero: - there for over a century - 6% of brazil’s population lives in favelas; of them in Rocinha - houses used to be made of ‘found’ materials, now concrete and brick - basic plumbing, access to water and electricity are now in almost all houses

Kibera: Africa’s biggest slum (Nairobi, Kenya) – 1million people Disease such as HIV/AIDS common Residents lack access to basic services like water/electricity Assault/rape is common
