Vila Autodromo Residents Moving And Final Demolitions

Phil Clarke Hill

Residents who stayed on, move into their new Government built homes, with the Olympic park shining in the background. Vila Autodromo favela, in the west zone of Rio, is in direct site of the Rio 2016 Olympic park. There has been an ongoing struggle between residents and the City Government of Eduardo Paes. After a long battle, 20 families who held on were allowed to stay, on the provision that they moved into houses constructed by the state, in the same style as the public housing programme.
