The urban sprawl of Indian and Brazilian megacities continues to expand their peripheries but not all slums are there. Many slums still remain in the core areas; accordingly, it is questionable if they can be deemed “marginalized” from a spatial perspective: Dharavi, Rocinha and Paraisópolis are slums located in the geographical centre of the agglomeration. Clearly, this makes resettlement policies that transplant people to far-off places at the periphery of the megalopolis effective factors of social exclusion since the “beneficiaries” are then often far from their workplaces, day-job markets and public transportation.
Our hypothesis is that both slums and the destruction of protected green areas are, to an extent to be determined, the results of flawed urban policies (see Chapter 5). In this sense, the poor and nature are both equally threatened by a new capitalist logic that supports real estate interests. indd 15 9/3/2013 11:14:27 AM b1592 16 Megacity Slums: Social Exclusion, Space and Urban Policies in India and Brazil F. -C.
