I have a few questions I need help with:

Question 4:

Case Study: Olympic Exclusion Zone - The Gentrification of a Rio Favela

Residents of Babilnia, Brazil complain they are being callously pushed out as the favela undergoes a rapid 'upgrade' ahead of the Olympics - a consequence of the city's prize-winning Morar Carioca plan, introduced in 2010 to upgrade all favelas as part of the social legacy of the Olympics.

Some residents talk about the golden era of the mutiro (an indigenous word meaning a group of people who work together to benefit all), when residents pooled resources to build their homes. Gentrification belongs to the more individualistic development of Rio that has characterised the run-up to the Games, they say.

"We are not against foreigners but we are only in favour of tourism that is good for everyone." He adds: "We are against 'safari tourism' and we have a campaign: the favela is not a zoo. It has never been so 'cute' to stay in a favela. People take selfies in the favela. They come to see how exotic we are."

Imagine you are the CEO of Tourism and Events Queensland

Learning from the case study of Rio Favela (see online module),

identify 3 things you would implement to minimise the impact and maximise the opportunities of Brisbane 2032 for the benefits of local residents in Queensland.
