Also known as People of the Hill, the Favelas live in a rich and confined community. Some importance of the built environment to the community in the area are;

​

• Urban planning for efficiency

A planned street layout is important for the people living in an area as it affects transportation, infrastructure, and more. With organized planning, the lives of the people in the area would be much easier to navigate and to carry out everyday tasks​

​

• Productivity of residents

The surrounding environment affects the way we carry out our activities during the day. With the good categorization of city planning, people would be able to do more of their interests and activities during leisure with their friends around their community.

​

• Mentality of the people

An organized lifestyle leaves a big impact on our way of thinking and living skills. It is crucial to have a good environment to be exposed with which in turn can help to convert a certain area into a better place to live in

I would love to visit this place in the future to experience the lives of the people in the Favela community just to feel what it is like to have a different way of living.
