it is a weird chain of hills, on one side lives people that belong in the top 1% of peruvian society, and on the other side, people on the bottom 20%, on the rest of the city you see more of a gradient in between neighborhoods
That’s not weird at all if you consider the rich want to employ cheap laborers to support their lifestyle (maids, chauffeur, gardeners, kitchen staffs, etc) , but don’t want them to live in the same neighborhood, so you’ll have slum naturally developed near the rich area.
closeness doesn’t work very well here, if you are a rich fella on one side and your maid, cook, gardener, etc lives on the other side of the hill, they would have to take a long trip down one valley and then up the other to get to you, cuz there is a wall in the middle
the wall runs on the top of the hills, it doesn’t affect view, each side has their own view to their own valley and you can’t see across the hill, it only limits the movement of people, and 4.5Km is a lot to block on a densely populated city

Sounds like a problem for the poors.™️
I’m sure the rich people see no problem with that.
It’s kind of the same in Rio
Many favelas moved to the hills near cities where it was too expensive to build with 0 supporting infrastructure
Bow that the city grew suddenly you have luxury houses right next to a favela and the favela has the best view of the city
I thought it was gonna be some utopia inside a big walled city. This wall is useless. It’s just blocking their view.

Maybe they want to see the other side…
Then they need to break on through…
