Brazil’s preparations for this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro have taken six years, $11.1 billion, and transformed parts of the city. High-resolution satellite imagery from DigitalGlobe is now available in Mapbox Satellite and it reveals venues under construction, neighborhoods reshaped, and environmental impacts from depolluted waterways to a golf course carved from a nature preserve.
