Summary

[edit]
Description

According to the late chef Anthony Bourdain, São Paulo “feels like Los Angeles threw up on New York", and although many of my fellow locals took that as an offence, I think Bourdain just nailed it on his definition of my hometown.

With a population of 12.1 million people living in an area of 1,521.11 km2 (587.3039 sq mi) just in the city of Sao Paulo, excluding the metropolitan area, isn't so hard to see how much we failed in urban planning.

On the middle of the picture is the Pico do Jaraguá, the highest mountain in the city at 1,135 m (3,724 ft) above sea level, and with the TV and Radio antennae on top of it, I guess Bourdain would probably relate this northern part of the town more with LA than with NYC...
