Transformation and Social Upliftment in a 1960s Squatter Settlement: The Construction of a Modern Satellite Town at Altura EC
The 1960s saw the construction of a modern satellite town at Altura EC, a squatter settlement in Brazil. The transformation of Altura EC from a squatter settlement to a modern satellite town was an important milestone in Brazil’s history. It was the first in a series of social upliftment initiatives that sought to improve the quality of life for the residents of squatter settlements across the country.
During the 1960s, the squatter settlement at Altura EC had been in a state of disrepair and poverty. The lack of basic amenities, such as running water and electricity, made life difficult and dangerous for the families living there. The Brazilian government recognized the need to improve the quality of life in these squatter settlements and decided to invest in the construction of a modern satellite town at Altura EC.
