Solving the housing problem

A key idea
• There is a huge variety in the quality of shanty towns around the world, and even within Rio.
• Roçinha is one of the most ‘developed’ – everyone lives in brick houses, there is a sewage system, most people have satellite TV and there was even a McDonald’s there until recently

Is there anything else you learned that would help you to answer:
“For a named city in an LEDC which you have studied, describe attempts to improve the quality of life in the squatter settlements”
NOTE: it may ask you to evaluate rather than just describe
