East Zone of São Paulo

城市概覽

The Far East used to be occupied by farms and industries. During the second half of the 20th century, the fast economic growth of São Paulo attracted a large number of migrants from the Northeast of Brazil, who settled mainly in the city's peripheral areas. The Northeastern migrants and their descendants are now the predominant population in the Far East, although a significant Japanese community, that arrived during the farming era, is still present and remains culturally important to the region. The Far East is known as a "dormitory city", with a very large population and few opportunities of employment within the region, and unfortunately, with high levels of poverty and crime. However, there is a lot of perspective for the region, due to the fact that Itaquera was chosen to host the opening of the FIFA World Cup 2014. Together with a new stadium, which will become the home of Brazil's 2nd most popular football team, Itaquera is being remodelled to become a new center of services and business in the East. It is yet to be seen what all of these will end up, but there is at least a big hope that in São Paulo, the time of the East has finally arrived.
