in the final stage of the process, following the deployment of the upp, the official city administration  is free to enter the area. development commences by installing and improving basic infrastructure such as electric and water distribution, and by formalizing local businesses as well as residents' real estate and land ownership. 

overall, the results of the UPP deployment have been remarkable - improved safety inside the favelas, improved safety in the areas outside and near the favelas, substantial increase in real estate values both inside the favelas and in the surrounding areas and increased sense of security of all cariocas in the city as a whole. 

the UPP maintains a website detailing the progress made in each favela that can be seen here - the english version is occasionally slightly different and can be accessed here - the unidade de polícia pacificadora can be contacted via this link, and keeps a detailed newsfeed on this page. arrow-back      arrow-forward
