America the u. S. And the netherlands to find out more. We still its in her room one of south americas more populous countries where around twenty percent of people live in poverty mostly in the countryside in many urban areas rich and poor live side by side in impoverished districts people might live in wooden huts worth around three hundred dollars while the affluent neighbors snap up mansions worth three million how does that affect a community. The air here is heavy with dust most of the People Living in these shocks have no access to electricity and running well served. On the other side of the mountain a well to do neighborhood with sports facilities and luxury villas. Two world separated by a ten kilometer long wall made of concrete on topped with barbed wire. Rest. Lives on the poor side. A situation in the outskirts of the peruvian capital lima the population is increasing rapidly as more people arrive from the countryside to try their luck in the big city. Sarai lives here for seventeen years during that time both the wall and the contrast between the two sides have got bigger. It makes people aggressive this kind of situation shouldnt exist today its a form of discrimination. That hes getting mean all other people might see it differently. But for me its a clear separation of the poor on one side and the rich on the other. Runs an easterly in her neighborhood she offers good food at a good price something her customers appreciate. The forty nine year old earns just enough to get by she serves meals from Early Morning to evening during the day she takes time out to go shopping and sometimes even goes home for a short rest. She lives alone now she says her exhusband was violent. Rapid population growth coupled with poor quality housing and lack of services have led to many problems. Then made here are a lot of health risks where we live there animal feces everywhere which raises the risk of infections. Theres plenty of filth and smarm here. And our neighborhood is located in a valley the air is always smoky from the garbage being burnt any wallah in the us lots of children have asthma breathing problems and just of issues and theres never enough water. On this side of the wall the stench of burning garbage is ever present. On the other side theres a different kind of fire less the veil of fire places provide warmth and comfort us here in the suburb of los cuz you are an awful life is good for many of those on the rich side the wall provides peace of mind. For me even if its my work that makes me successful i believe everyone who seeks success should find it we have to Work Together and give each other opportunities. In my opinion the wall provides protection but the door is always open so that we can be together it was. Several years ago he hired victor who lives on the other side of the wall as home help victor has come to terms with the divide. Im one of the poor people. In the village and thats where i was dying. If theres no reason not to be friends with people on the other side. Its not about exclusion. I mean i wouldnt call it a wall of shame like other people do. Those people only want to hurt others. Ten kilometers of barbed wire designed to keep undesirables. City officials agreed to the Walls Construction at the request of wealthy residents who hoped that it would keep crime action of their area. Sebastien by boosting security not promoting discrimination. And over the years they were always rumors that mountain thieves were entering the neighborhood. But they were residents of the poor neighborhood. Me or my many who live there work here with us and we get along fine and i got and guess what he but there was some people who tried to come over to us through the slum in order to steal and its been snowing. They were the catalyst for the construction of the wall. It was built for more security. This jocosely in mood of course it would yes. But for sarah the wall symbolizes in justice. A barrier separating peruvians from each other. Its a form of confinement shell never accept. Is that he said but its sad if you can see two different kinds of lives that have been deliberately separated. From up here you can see two different worlds. Its very sad that theres a wall like this. Made of cement built to separate people mortal main. Growing to fight between rich and poor coupled with increasing fears over security. The old separation two neighborhoods in is a concrete example both.

Limited or lack of planning where they really recognize that there is going to be some four hundred thousand residents and sunday well they need to start planning for more open space and actually provide for development and growth away from the waterways so that it doesnt put people in harm ways harms way. It all began in the fiftys when two speculators snapped up some swamp land. Uninhabitable mangrove swamps became construction sites with very little infrastructure. The advertising promised paradise on earth. Marshes and those mangroves protected the pine flat woods and the Higher Ground behind that now. Oceans been invited all the way into the center of the city and so sea levels going to rise throughout the city not just on the edges of it as it would be if you didnt have the canal system.
