Well when people started not having jobs and big families to look after they started looking for land not owned by the government (so no taxes) this ways about the 18th century. HOPE THIS HELPED :L
favelas or barrios
shantytowns in Brazil are called favelas
They are called favelas because it comes from the flower "favela" because where the favela's are built (on hills and mountains) there would be a large amount of them growing where the shanty towns are.
Favelas started in rio de janerio because poor people didn't find any place to live so they built homes on steep land which no one wanted even the government.
Ranchos are small farms where as favelas (or favelos) are shanty towns, normally found in Brazil.
favelas
Favelas are made from any available materials, such as corrugated iron sheets, plastic, wood and even cardboard.
The future of favelas will vary depending on local government policies and social interventions. There are efforts to improve infrastructure, access to services, and promote community development in favelas to enhance the quality of life for residents. Continued efforts to address issues such as poverty, crime, and housing conditions will be key in shaping the future of favelas.
The favelas take a large area, actually. However, the houses are small and close together.
