Derek pardue claims that social difference and power is space, in the city of Sao Paulo Brazil. One method Derek uses to prove this opinion is by investigating movement around the city that is transportation. He starts of by informing us that the city was late on its formation; skyscraper, public transportations and roads didn’t form until the twentieth century. With the formation of the city the term ‘’segregation’’ came along; wealth people lived in one area and the poor on one side called periferia ; which means slum. Robson a man interview by Derek claims that the public transportation system is meant to be used by the poor. The trains are like sardine cans, and the buses contain people who smell and it feels sticky inside. Robson states that the bus he takes always passes by wealthy communities and on the street he sees luxurious cars and it reminds him that he cant afford that and the space where he comes from.
