Brasília (city)

Brasília is the capital city of Brazil, built-in the late 1950s to promote development and national unity. Designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer and planner Lúcio Costa, it features modernist architecture and innovative urban planning with wide avenues, distinct government buildings, and separate zones for living, working, and recreation. The city's layout resembles an airplane or bird shape, symbolizing progress and forward thinking. Brasília serves as the political center, hosting the federal government, ministries, and official residences, and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its unique urban design and architectural significance.
