The dramatic cliffs and endless beaches of Rio De Janeiro makes it the city that probably first comes to mind when you think of Brazil. But São Paulo, the largest metropolis in the southern hemisphere, is the true economic engine of the world’s sixth most-populous country.
In 1554, Catholic missionaries - with the help of indigenous workers - built a small village perched 750 meters above sea level and 70 kilometers from the Atlantic coast. It was the only inland settlement in the country, a jumping off point for expeditions of conquerors, traders, and gold hunters.
In the 1800’s, Brazil became the world’s leading coffee producer, but the farmers in Rio over-cultivated their soil, giving São Paulo an opening to become the country’s agricultural hub. As one of the few inland towns, it was closer than Rio to the plantations spread throughout the interior, and it was directly linked by rail to the port of Santos, making it the ideal junction for shipments of goods on their way to the coast for export.
In 1888, Brazil’s businesses adapted to another significant change when Emperor Dom Pedro II - regarded by many as the greatest Brazilian to ever live - convinced his people to abolish slavery. With their captive labor force suddenly free, farmers and industrialists turned to immigrants from abroad. Today, as a result, São Paulo has the largest population of Italian descendants of any city on the planet, including Rome; the largest Japanese community outside of Japan; and - of course - significant numbers of Portuguese and Spanish.
Many of these newcomers were skilled factory workers whose knowledge helped São Paulo emerge as a manufacturing capital during the industrial revolution and WWII.
Over a period of less than 30 years, the city’s population exploded from 250,000 to 1 million. Steady growth continued through the century, passing Rio in 1960, and hitting 8.5 million in 1980.
Today, the population of the megalopolis known as “Sampa” is over 20 million. In many ways it is a thriving global city with the largest stock exchange in Latin America; a vibrant culture with over 100 museums and dynamic performing arts spaces and beautiful parks. As part of futbol-crazed Brazil, it proudly hosted matches during the 2014 World Cup; and is making significant investments in the next generation, with 850,000 students enrolled in higher education courses.
Unfortunately though, São Paulo’s rapid development has also taken a heavy toll, with four core problems rising above the rest.
The city’s only major bodies of water are the Tiete and Pinheiros rivers. As the population grew, the government - plagued by inefficiency and corruption - struggled to meet demand for basic infrastructure. Without enough wastewater treatment plants, sewage from millions of people flowed directly into the rivers. Toxic waste from industrial facilities was dumped without limit. When new highways were built, the city laid them on the only continuous stretches of land left, the riverbanks, and then hid stretches of them behind walls. But even if you can’t always see the rivers, their stench doesn’t go away.
When the Tiete is at it most-choked, it is a biologically deadzone as far as Barra Bonita, 260 km downstream.
It wasn’t always this way. The rivers used to be gathering points for recreation--distant memories that are motivating current rehabilitation efforts, which include projects to treat 100% of all wastewater before it enters the Tiete, putting an end to all dumping, and teaching people how to care for their rivers and streams.

Actually, who abolished slavery in Brazil was Princess Isabel, Dom Pedro II's daughter.
PR stunt
Actually was England pression
She just signed it after a lot of pressure.
what would have happened if she didn't sign it?
There was already the free womb law, giving freedom for all the sons of slaves and the sexagenary law, to give freedom for slaves at 60 years old. The aurea law abolished the slavery completly.

Listen, I cannot even express into words how proud and satisfied I am with your short mini documentary. You get an A + for everything that you have expressed in a simple, yet very complete manner. By the way, I say this as someone who was born in Sao Paulo, no longer lives there, yet is always proud to have been born there! Kudos to you and your team! Happy 2019!
I was so surprised to see that Sao Paulo had become such a huge piece in exporting of foods and goods. I also was very surprised to hear about how Dom Pedro the 2nd was the man who convinced all of his people to abolish slavery. Such a remarkable and great move of his part as a leader.
He didn't. The farmers expelled him and his family from Brazil because of it.

Shenzhen is very young city, no character
This is actually very accurate.
São Paulo is a gigantic city and there´s always something new to know or discover about it.
This city could be so much better if it had a well-educated population that actually cared about it.
Unfortunately, education in Brazil has been deteriorating rapidly in the latest 16-20 years and we see the results in everyday life. Too much trash on the streets. People highly stressed in traffic. Street vendors yelling inside subway trains.
Still, no place in Brazil matches its cosmopolitan vibe and cultural diversity. There´s something for everyone to enjoy in São Paulo
Brazil with the years is growing more and more. I wasn’t aware it was the leading coffee producer, I would have thought it was Colombia. There were many events like the abolishment of slavery, this helped the place grow and develop. I do think that due to so much development, people maybe weren’t aware of how to deal with so many changes. Maybe if there were more importance for the environment they wouldn’t be tied to these problems. Something that could be fixed is to create a better transportation system could reduce the vehicle usage.
What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger and I do love my city even with its ups and downs. ❤️
A melhor cidade do Mundo pra se viver...aqui se chega sem conhecimento algum e vira um profissional em pouco tempo...orgulho de ser Paulistano.
It is good to learn that although Sao Paulo, Brazil has a lot of issues to deal with they seem to have plans to help resolve or at least ease the situation.

South Brazil
I'd say there are more white ppl in SP than Mixed or Blacks. In Rio it's 50% 50% and usually lots of mixing
mostly European, norte and south african and some ameridian. That´s our gene pool, no matter how brazilians look like, they can be blonde, pale skin with blue eyes. 89% of the population will have some african and amerindian DNA. There are some ancestry genetic studies that revealed that. We are pretty diverse and I enjoy that.
São Paulo is, in fact, and has been for a long time, the biggest city in the State of São Paulo, it is the biggest city in Brazil, it is the biggest city in South America, it is the biggest city in Latin America, it is the biggest city in America (the CONTINENT is called AMERICA and NOT "Americas" - there is one and just one AMERICA - the CONTINENT!!!), it is the biggest city in the Southern Hemisphere, it is the biggest city in the Western Hemisphere and it is one of the biggest cities on planet Earth!!! São Paulo is thriving, beautiful, huge, immense, colossal, admirable, welcoming, multicultural, diverse, challenging, frenetic, cosmopolitan, ancient and modern at the same time. São Paulo is each and everyone at the same time!!!

I found it interesting to see how things were able to grow so fast in Brazil. Especially after Brazil adapted to abolish slavery. The other city is know to now have the most Italians in its city. I love how Brazil is the home to a lot of museums and has a high amount of students enrolled in colleges.
Amoo São Paulo, cidade multicultural, com lugares incríveis para se visitar, só quem não conhece a cidade de verdade para criticar. Tem problemas? Claro que tem, uma região metropolitana com mais de 20 milhões de pessoas, recebendo gente do Brasil inteiro de forma desordenada, infelizmente não teria como não ter problemas, moradia, pobreza, violência, poluição, mas acho que pelo tamanho gigantesco da cidade poderia ser até maiores, é bom lembrar que a cidade continua recebendo um número grande de imigrantes principalmente na Região metropolitana, que já se cornuba com as regiões metropolitanas de Campinas, Jundiaí, Vale do Paraíba e Baixada Santista, formando o complexo metropolitano expandido, uma das maiores manchas urbanas continuas do mundo.São Paulo sofre a décadas com continuas administrações municipais que não movem um dedo para melhorar os problemas da cidade.Morar em São Paulo é poder conhecer sempre um lugar diferente a cada semana.. seja um museu.. um parque.. uma feira.. sem contar que estamos a 1 hora do litoral e perto das montanhas.. com cidades como Campos do Jordão.

I don't know if I would be this optimistic about the city's future. I mean the masterplan is great, but these kinds of projects are rarely carried out in their full extension here in Brazil, mostly due to goverment inefficiency and selfish politicians. Still I hope that people will work hard to give the future that SP deserves, after all it's the city that I was born in and the city that I'll always love.

Terrific video. And grammar school we had to memorize capitals of Canada and South America. Public school was horrible for me. We could learn more watching videos like this then memorizing the names of capitals of states and countries. I am also somewhat of an anarchist, though most people don't understand what it means. It means looking at a place like Sao Paulo and wondering whether or problems could be better solved by people working cooperatively rather than Central Powers coming up with impractical plans and taxing, AKA robbing people to implement them. The planet is beautiful everywhere you look.
Nice production and history. Would like to visit.
SP 👑
fascinating programme
Wonderful video, this has helped me with my homework loads.
As a Paulistano I can say that the video is really accurate, good job! We face a lot of problems when we talk about prices in São Paulo (actually, it’s a countrywide problem). We have the country’s most expensive square meter, which is one of the reasons why people live so far away from the city center. The public transportation is inefficient, there aren’t enough buses or metrô (our subway trains) lines. As a few people mentioned before, it takes decades to build just a couple train stations. Citizens take hours to commute as a result of the lack of transportation options. The city is not planned to use a bike as a transportation, the traveling distances are way to long, the roads are steep and the quality of the tarmac is horrible. Although, there are incentives from the government to use a bike as an option, you can carry you bike when boarding the metrô, the bike lanes are expanding throughout the city... it’s not yet a valuable option for most citizens but we are getting there, I hope...
Amazing video 👏🏻

It is the Pinheiros river and Tietê river! these river have a big history with Santos (Cubatão Hydroeletric), and the Billings dump, builded to attaim the hydroeletric, these probably is the cause why the river is a open sewage, A few decades ago the governament interrupt the water flush to the dumps, and now Billings dump and Guarapiranga Dump supplie more then 10 cities with water, therefore this waterfall is the hightest in the world, producing eletricity to all Santos area.
I'm from São Bernardo, a big city 30min from SP and Santos(yes I'm located between). Here we're supplied with water of the Billings dump and some cities too, I used to fish there, is not the most cleaned dump, but have their natural life, whats size I appreciate a lot. Thanks for the video!

Hi

The future is in Brazilians hand. They can not let logging destroy the rain forest. It is to important to the entire world. Futurama called it there will no rain forests in the future
pop Basketball then the rest of the world should stop buying all that logged wood
Ideally, offering a substitute source of income (like proper jobs) to illegal loggers would be both responsibility of the Brazilian government and of who usually buys the wood.
You can't just expect to end logging just by making it illegal (which already is in most part) without offering new opportunities. These people will keep logging if they feel like it's the best chance for them to live.
@@williambrand9652 it's not just buying wood, it's also creating land for cattle. At one point, you can let the world control your economy or you can take a stand. Nonetheless, the rainforest will be lost to higher sea levels before logging and cattle ranches ever would.
@@metametodo You can hire more people to look for illegal logging.
@@popbasketball1696 The Amazon forest is extremely huge to patrol efficiently. You just can't. The Brazilian government also is in a big economic and political crisis, and isn't a very powerful economy, especially against agribusiness, which is our main source of income. It's naive to think "take a stand" is easy and efficient if you just is dependent on what you should be against.
That's why I say this should be a collaborative effort, since part of the illegal logging, cattle raising and mining on the Amazon is supported by external powers.
This isn't a Brazilian exclusive issue. The world benefits from Amazon protection, and the world loses if the Amazon is destroyed. So this is supposed to be global responsibility, with the Brazilian lead.
