Description: "Combines two mestrado theses from 1986 on urban problems in turn-of-the-century Rio de Janeiro. Public health campaigns and land speculation undertaken at the urgings of elites prompted demolition of centrally located slums, forcing out and marginalizing the poor and aggravating their health and housing problems. State-sponsored vilas operárias were an inadequate response to these problems"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references.
