Landscapes of uneven development

Description

For the assignment, you will choose one slum area for further study. Your choices are:
Heliopolis (a favela in Sao Paulo, Brazil), Makoko (a neighbourhood in Lagos, Nigeria), or
Soweto (a township of Johannesburg, South Africa). You will then choose one of the following
dimensions of everyday life: gender roles and relations; livelihood and economy; housing;
health; or environmental hazards. Prepare a brief report that provides sufficient contextual
information about the area (e.g., 1-2 pages about its historical emergence, relative location,
population characteristics), and then a report on the social dimension you chose based on the
most up-to-date knowledge you can find (2-3 pages).
