This ebook appears to be like at slums and social exclusion within the 4 significant megacities of India and Brazil, and analyzes the interrelationships among city regulations and housing and environmental matters. In Delhi, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the demanding situations they pose have spurred public actors into motion via housing, rehabilitation and conservation courses, let alone civil society and the population themselves. however, one needs to wonder if those demanding situations have been partially created by way of the deficiencies of those very public actors and civil society, be it their loss of intervention (as advocates of presidency intervention may argue), or the issues and inadequacies in their activities (as supporters of the loose industry might suggest). Are guidelines assuaging or worrying social exclusion? This ebook explores those questions and more.
