In Brazil, subdivided units are increasingly common in urban areas due to housing demand and real estate development. The term is frequently used in property transactions, zoning discussions, and urban planning. In the US, particularly in NYC, subdividing larger properties into smaller rental units is a common practice but often regulated by building codes and zoning laws. The cultural approach differs: Brazil tends to have more informal subdivisions in developing areas, while the US emphasizes legal compliance and building standards.
