| Description: |
Through an extensive literature review and talks with various local experts in the state of São Paulo the team delved into specific challenges currently faced by favelas, while also considering future directions. The study includes in-situ data to grasp the structural nature of the favelas, while considering difficulties in urban planning, and environmental protection. Furthermore, a review of social resources and census data,
or lack there-of, and security concerns were considered. This provides a multifaceted perspective on the living conditions within these areas and highlights some of the complex characteristics of favelas which impact the everyday life of residents. Our analysis identifies significant gaps that space-based technologies could help to fill while highlighting opportunities where these could be effectively implemented. Using these insights, a roadmap has been developed by the team, categorizing solutions into short-term, mid-term, and long-term strategies. This roadmap outlines a comprehensive plan that considers not only immediate necessities but also focuses on sustainable growth and community development for the future. |
