There were 53,700 hectares of urbanized area in favelas in Brazil in 1985; in 2024, 146,000 hectares. The data shows the annual growth of urbanized area within the perimeters of favelas and urban communities, according to the official IBGE delimitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Manaus leads the ranking of urbanized areas in favelas in both 1985 and 2024<\/strong>, with a growth of 2.6 times in the period. It is one of the capitals of the North region which, together with those of the Northeast, occupy the top of the ranking of the 10 largest urbanized areas in favelas in Brazil: 7 in 1985 and 8 in 2024, with the entry of Teresina (10th position). Rio de Janeiro, which held second place in 1985 with 3,600 hectares, dropped to fifth place in 2024 with 5,300 hectares. Despite this, the increase in this municipality was nearly 1.5 times.

The metropolitan regions of Manaus (state of Amazonas) and Bel\u00e9m (state of Par\u00e1) have slightly smaller areas (11,400 hectares and 11,300 hectares, respectively), but these represent more than a third of the entire urbanized area of those municipalities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bras\u00edlia, meanwhile, stands out for housing the favelas that grew the most in the last 40 years<\/strong>. Of the five favelas that expanded their occupation area the most between 1985 and 2024, four are in the federal capital. If these four favelas in the Federal District were a municipality, their urban area expanded in the last four decades would be greater than the growth of 95% of all urbanized areas in Brazil. <strong>Two of them\u2014Sol Nascente and 26 de Setembro\u2014occupy the first and second places of the largest favelas in Brazil, with 599 hectares and 577 hectares, respectively. <\/strong>The Jardim Progresso favela in Natal (state of Rio Grande do Norte)\u2014the third largest in area expansion in Brazil between 1985 and 2024\u2014is the leader in expansion over areas considered to have Minimum and Low Water Security by the National Water Agency (ANA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe concentration of the most recent major expansions in the Federal District, combined with their overlap with areas classified as having lower water security, points to a dynamic of accelerated territorial growth within more environmentally restrictive contexts. This represents a risk not only for the populations occupying these areas due to a lack of other suitable options but also for the city's population as a whole,\u201d highlights Julio Pedrassoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>25% of Brazilian urban expansion occurred in critical water security areas<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all Brazilian urban expansion over natural areas (670,000 hectares), 25% occurred in critical water security areas (lowest minimum), affecting 1,325 municipalities. <strong>In five Brazilian states, more than 70% of urbanization growth between 1985 and 2024 occurred in critical water security areas<\/strong>: Alagoas, Cear\u00e1, Para\u00edba, Rio Grande do Norte, and Sergipe.&nbsp; <strong>The municipality of Rio de Janeiro showed the largest absolute growth of urbanization in minimum water security conditions: 7,600 hectares between 1985 and 2024, equivalent to 11,000 soccer fields.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is a mismatch between the growth of cities and the availability of water. The fact that 1,325 municipalities expanded their urban footprint under these conditions reveals that the problem is structural and national. It is not just a matter of risk. The scarcity of water for human consumption is already a reality at many times of the year in large Brazilian metropolises, such as the city of S\u00e3o Paulo,\u201d reminds Julio Pedrassoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Brazil: 60% of urban growth occurred in the last 40 years<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Urbanized areas are characterized by the predominance of buildings (residential, commercial, industrial) and infrastructure (paved streets, sidewalks, service networks).
