Abandoned Industrial Buildings In Rio's Port District Home To Many Families

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - SEPTEMBER 23: Preta da Silva pours a disinfectant while attempting to clean sewage running through a formerly deserted building which is currently home to dozens of families in the port district on September 23, 2014 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Residents say the makeshift sewage system has backed up inside the building due to construction in the neighborhood. Residents say the building has been occupied for the past 14 years, but the government has begun relocating some of the families to alternate housing. Ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Rio has started a multibillion dollar urban renewal program of its port district which includes a double decker waterfront freeway being torn down to be replaced by tunnels, repaved roads, a tram network and other infrastructure improvements in the area. The Porto Maravilha project is also expected to displace around 1,000 local residents. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
