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.
