Less than 10 miles of concrete sprawl separates the São Paulo neighbourhoods of Jardim Paulista and Jardim Ângela, but that gap grows to almost 24 years in the life expectancy of people living there. The stark statistic is found in the Map of Inequality 2017 compiled by Rede Nossa São Paulo. “There has been no significant reduction in inequality or improvement in the quality of life,” said research coordinator Jorge Abrahão.
