Part 8/11:
The stark contrast in wealth within São Paulo is disconcerting. While the city has affluent communities, an estimated 880,000 people are homeless, residing on the streets. Moreover, the presence of favelas, or informal settlements, housing around 3 million people further highlights the socio-economic disparity within the city.
Crime remains a concern, with certain neighborhoods considered unsafe. Although the police presence provides a sense of security in central areas, caution is advised, especially in places known for higher crime rates.
