Themed districts have become increasingly popular in both Brazil and the USA as urban revitalization strategies. In Brazil, examples include bohemian neighborhoods like Vila Madalena in São Paulo and historic districts in Salvador. In the USA, themed districts are common in cities like New York (Chinatown, Little Italy), Miami (Wynwood Walls), and Los Angeles (Arts District). These areas often serve as tourist attractions while raising concerns about gentrification and displacement of original residents.
