This book looks at slums and social exclusion in the four major
megacities of India and Brazil, and analyzes the interrelationships
between urban policies and housing and environmental issues. In
Delhi, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, the challenges they
pose have spurred public actors into action through housing,
rehabilitation and conservation programs, not to mention civil
society and the inhabitants themselves. On the other hand, one must
wonder whether these challenges were partly created by the
deficiencies of these very public actors and civil society, be it
their lack of intervention (as advocates of government intervention
would argue), or the flaws and inadequacies of their actions (as
supporters of the free market would suggest). Are policies
alleviating or aggravating social exclusion? This book explores
these questions and more.
