this is another one of the reasons behind the efforts made by the city to properly allocate all land and property, since the pacification process has made these programs feasible.

more so than the architecture of the buildings in a favela, a major difference with standard neighborhoods is the level of basic services available in these areas.

public transportation to and within favelas is being constantly addressed and improved, as well as services such as the removal of waste, availability of potable water, proper sewage, cooking-gas distribution, electricity, postal service, cable television, internet, and the presence of banks, schools, daycare centers, and health clinics among other things.
