The accelerated urbanization in large centers often does not follow ideal growth guidelines, causing serious problems of environmental degradation and great losses in the quality of life of the population. To understand the urban space within the relationship of irregular settlements and self-construction of large cities, you need to be aware of numerous issues, among them, the emergence of favelas that represent a failure of public power. In the first consequences of the occupation of space, one can perceive that due to accelerated urbanization, cities are influenced by every complex of urban structure, especially in more precarious areas. However, in regards to the daily life of the communities, as well as the appreciation of the residents 'and slums' points of view, looks at these places should not come as a problem, but especially as a challenge. It is believed that the establishment of urban design principles that take into account "seeing" these residents as protagonists, where there is rather the problem of precarious housing, however one can face this challenge and then propose solutions to well-established places, in quality of life, where the legacy is much greater. As a proposal for interdisciplinary intervention, these urban spaces can reduce the impact on the most vulnerable areas and, consequently, transform the infrastructure improving the environment in general in the insertion of the healthy city.
