In Social Studies we have been learning about megacities. These are cities with a population of more than 10 million. At the end of the unit, we had a project where we had to choose one megacity and talk about three growth factors, three problems the city faces, and three solutions. The city I chose was Sao Paulo, Brazil.  somethings thing I learned about Sao Paulo is that the main export of Sao Paulo is coffee. In 2018, Sao Paulo sold 35.2 million 60 kg of coffee, equal to 5.1 billion USD in revenues. another thing I learned is that there are over 200 communities in Sao Paulo.

and the last thing I learned is that 40 percent of Sao Paulo’s population lives in favelas or shanty houses.
