 * __Why has the industry grown so rapidly in Sao Paolo__**

There are a few main reasons as to why the industry in Sao Paolo has grown so rapidly. First off during the "economic miracles" in the 1960s and 1970s about half a million people migrated to the center of Sao Paolo, each year looking for work. This resulted in Sao Paolo having a population of 23 million in the present day. Sao Paolo also has a lot of iron ore in the area around it, aswell as lots of other minerals. This led to the iron industry, steel industry and the engineering industry growing and developing.

Brazil is now the worlds 9th largest car producer, it also manufactures lots of aircraft and machinery. It has plants of four large car TNCs : Ford, Volkswagen, General Motors and Mercedes. As the industry grew, even more people moved to the city to get jobs. This caused the small town it was in the 19th century to grow into a huge city.
