All You Need To Know About Sao Paulo, Brazil's Largest City
São Paulo state has 645 municipalities and a population of approximately 40 million inhabitants. According to IBGE, Brazil’s main government research institute, the population in the city of São Paulo is about 11 million inhabitants. If we take into account the metropolitan area, which includes 38 smaller cities around the capital, the population is almost 19,000,000 inhabitants. In Brazil, 81.3% of the population lives in urban areas even though the amazon rainforest covers up to 57% of the total area of Southern hemisphere’s largest country. This urban concentration helps to explain why it is more expensive to rent an office in São Paulo than in New York City.
