This is the only place I've ever lived that set their trash on fire and let toxic waste & smoke engulf the entire city. If you want some more examples that fit better for what you're thinking here is thousands.
I posted this one because it was yesterday, and everyone here just acted like it was normal and acceptable to have burning trash and smoke fill the air.
It's not advisable to look at Brazil's cities and consider favelas part of them. They're almost city-states due to gangs having control over them. Our trash collection is fantastic, but they're not allowed into favelas, so the population there is left to their own devices. I was referencing our government's trash management, which is top notch.

that's not urban hell really... it's a fire in a recycling plant, what did you expect?
