Brasília

Brasília
Brasília, city and capital of Brazil, in the Federal District of south central Brazil. It is situated in a savanna at an elevation of about 1000 m (about 3300 ft) and has a mild, dry climate. A city of striking modern appearance, Brasília developed as a planned city, constructed (beginning in 1957) on an uninhabited site to replace crowded Rio de Janeiro as the national capital. The economy of Brasília is driven by the federal government, which employs most of the city’s workers, and to a lesser extent by the city’s construction industry. Outside the city proper are a number of rapidly growing satellite communities, many of which, although lacking in facilities, have a more vital commercial life than Brasília. Brasília is served by a growing network of highways linking it to distant cities such as Belém, Belo Horizonte, and Salvador, and it is connected by railroad with São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Only light manufacturing is permitted in the city. Located in the city are the University of Brasília (1961), the National Theater, botanical gardens, a zoo, and a sports stadium.
