Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Rio
Olympics bring beautification projects to rundown areas
If murals
could change the safety, security, and beauty of a city, there will be painting
works all around the world. But no one thing could change any city and its
suburbs, even hosting a big event like the Olympic Games.
Rio de
Janeiro is hosting the 2016 games. Quite a lot of changes have been made to
transform the city of local residents and visitors from the world, and the very
rich and very poor. Huge mural work has been painted, an Oceanside bike path
was built (and collapsed), an old motorway was replaced by a public
transportation system, and abandoned sites were transformed into a public park
and play ground.
Will
these changes make the city and the lives of the residents, including the ones
of poor people living in the suburbs, any better after the games?
Enjoy
reading the article and seeing the before-after photos.
