context_page_description: São Caetano do Sul is a city in São Paulo state in Brazil. It is part of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. The population is 158,024 in an area of 15.33 km². It is the city with the highest per capita income in Brazil and it also has the highest Human Development Index.
  It is intensely conurbated with São Paulo, Santo André and São Bernardo do Campo, causing the physical limits between cities to be lost. São Caetano do Sul, together with Ferraz de Vasconcelos, is one of two cities in the state of São Paulo that are not crossed by any state or federal highway.
context_section_description: Immigrants from many nationalities have settled in São Caetano but the most significant groups are Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese, Germans and Japanese. In the 1950s, nationals from rural Northeastern Brazil started arriving as the region experienced a rapid industrialization boom.
caption: The vertical growth of the city occurs due to the fact that there is no more space for it to grow horizontally.
