Brasília is the capital city of Brazil with a population of 2,282,049 [

From 1763 to 1960 Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Brazil, and resources tended to be centred on the south east region of Brazil. Brasília’s geographically central location made for a more regionally neutral federal capital.

Neither of the two, but
Brasília is the capital of Brazil
Area: 5.822 km2
Population: 2.051.146 inhab. (est. 2000).
The Federal District is completely surrounded by the State of Goiás.
Climate in Brasilia.

In the center of Brazilian's territory is one of the most originals cities of the world, Brasilia. It's created by Lúcio Costa architect and inaugurated in 1960, the federal capital is one of the few modernist urban projects that get rid of the small planks to become reality. It has a bird format in which the body and big open wings are two large perpendicular shafts (see the draft and actual photo of Pilot Plan of Brasilia).

Brasília was built in two thousand days to be the nation's focus of power. Inaugurated by ex-President Juscelino Kubitschek on April 21st, 1960, the Brazilian capital is the best known of the cities that were planned during the 20th century and is a landmark in contemporary town planning and modern architecture. The major players in the history of Brasília were ex-President Juscelino Kubitschek, who launched the competition to select the project for the new city and made huge efforts to see it built during his term, the town planner Lucio Costa, winner of the competition and creator of the Pilot Plan for Brasília, and the architect Oscar Niemeyer, responsible for the city's main architectural works.
Although it has been in existence for just under forty years, Brasília is the result of long-standing dreams. In 1823, its name had already been put forward by José Bonifácio to the General Constituent Assembly of the Empire which was considering installing the Federal Capital in the Brazilian interior.
As well as being that visionary's dream, the Brazilian capital was also inspired by the prophecy of a saint: in 1883, Dom João Bosco, a Salesian priest living in Turin, Italy, revealed that a new civilization would emerge in the centre of Brazil, somewhere between the 15th and 20th parallels. Believers of this prophecy created the Dom Bosco Community.

The new Federal District attracted workers from all the regions of Brazil; these were the so-called "candangos" (labourers) who were responsible for the building of the city. Twenty seven years after the inauguration of Brasília, the efforts of the thousands of workers involved were recognized by UNESCO when the city was declared as being a Heritage of Mankind in 1987.

Situated in the Centre-West region in an area ceded by the state of Goiás, Brasília is bordered by the Rivers Preto to the east and Descoberto to the west, bringing together in an area of 5,822 km2, a population of 2 million inhabitants. Living together democratically in the city's squared configuration are politicians of various persuasions, diplomats from the most far-flung countries and civil servants of all ranks. However, the fact of their living together does not remove the contrasts: the satellite towns where thousands live are advancing in a disorderly fashion around the Pilot Plan with its broad, tree-planted spaces, the distant horizon, the north and south lakes and the succession of arches and curves that form the architecture of the city.
