Urbanizing the Amazon
Though cities are springing up throughout the Brazilian rainforest, there are few jobs to be had
In the middle of the Amazon rainforest, there’s a creature growing.
It’s the city of Manaus. Two million people live there now, and the population is only expected to grow. The city is at one end of the Rio Negro, and a recently completed 3.5-kilometer bridge will make for easier access by migrants.
