Morar Carioca Sustainable Community Program

Morar Carioca Sustainable Community Program

One of the largest infrastructure project in Brazil to upgrade slums of Rio de Janeiro, the Morar Carioca Sustainable Community Program will definitely lift Brazil’s candidacy for a superpower status. Surveys prove that more than 20% of the city’s population live in slums. “The majority of these lack adequate sanitation or building standards, leading to water pollution, soil degradation, methane emissions from waste, as well as a host of other social, health and safety issues for residents.”(C40) And it is the function of this program to eliminate these problems.

This project will help more than 200,000 residents of Rio de Janeiro. There is also a special focus on eco-solutions and reducing carbon print. The main aim of this project is also on sustainable development.
