It is sad to see the impact of modernist "Le Corbusier"-style urban planning. While the buildings are magnificent, they are located in dead neighborhoods, isolated from mixed-use commercial areas. It is urbanism for architecture's sake. Where we tried to make humans fit themselves into immutable ideals. Such areas stand in stark contrast with favelas, bottom-up vibrant communities (with a hell of a lot of problems for sure) where nothing is permanent, and there are no strict rules and zoning regulations.
