Question 3

Using Figure 5a and your own knowledge, describe how upgrading schemes in informal settlements (shanty towns) can improve the quality of life for residents.

Figure 5a: A photograph showing a hillside informal settlement (favela) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Some houses are being rebuilt with sturdy red bricks and concrete, replacing older wood and corrugated iron structures. A paved stairway with safety handrails runs down the steep slope between homes. Neatly organised overhead power lines and street lamps are visible. In the background, there is a small, freshly painted building with a sign that reads 'Clínica de Saúde' (Health Clinic).
