Description

A close-up of the wooden cardboard or metal shacks in the Pavão favela in Rio de Janeiro. Pathological population growth, outstripping all efforts to provide urban infrastructure, huge numbers of abandoned street children, sprawling favelas, saturation of transportation systems, pervasive air and environmental pollution and the aggravation of various social problems are among the challenges that face governments in the largest cities.Um close-up de barracos feitos de papelão ou metal na favela do Pavão no Rio de Janeiro. O crescimento patológico da população que impede todos os esforços para o desenvolvimento de infraestrutura urbana, o enorme número de crianças abandonadas, o aparecimento de mais favelas, a saturação do sistema de transporte, a crescente poluição do ar e do ambiente, acrescidos do agravamento de vários problemas sociais, encontram-se entre os desafios que o governo das grandes cidades encara.
