Look at this for a great supply side policy from Brazil. One of the biggest slums in Rio is now home to a 3.5 km cable car system. It aims to transport residents quickly into the city, saving them hours of journey time as they avoid steep and narrow roads. Hopefully this will improve the productivity of the workers shifting the countries PPF outwards.
