The focus is on one building, a 22-storey skyscraper ghetto that is now home to 468 families. they actually build shanty towns inside the abandoned office units. This just seemed like a good urban exploration story, not only that but there is rather an absence of UE Brazil locations in the database, that i can see. Urban Explorers always take the red pill...

He does cover quite a range of examples. cjb  Location: Sept-îles/Saint-John's/Corner Brooks/Montréal/Sydney Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Urban movement reclaims abandoned buildings in Sao Paulo <Reply # 3 on 2/24/2006 4:24 AM >   but they don't have the same definition of abandoned building as we do. Also , probably 32,000 of these so-called abandoned buildings are probably small abandoned barracks in favelas and other urban warzones. http://www.magazin...dossiers/index.htm UER Forum > Archived World > Urban movement reclaims abandoned buildings in Sao Paulo (Viewed 496 times) All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
