In Brasilla , Brazil

 

On 22nd September, 2013, I was in Brasilia.Rio de Janeiro was the country's capital between 1763 and 1960. The city of Salvador served as the seat for the Portuguese colonial administration in Brazil for its first two centuries and is usually called the "first capital of Brazil." In 1960, Brazil moved its capital city from Rio de Janeiro to a brand new city in the center of the country, called Brasilia. Brasilia was designed and constructed on empty land near the center of the country in the 1950s. Brazil moved its capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia to assert its independence, exchanging a colonial capital on the coast for a new interior capital. The interior, underdeveloped, location of the new capital allowed a fresh start as well as an opportunity to develop the region.Because of its unique city plan and architecture, as well as its unprecedented role in the development of the Brazilian interior, the city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. Brasilia is  unusual. The reasons for this are its unusual architecture and innovative urban planning, designed to facilitate life for its inhabitants. Features that allow it to be classed as one of the first smart cities of the world, despite this term not even existing when it was built

I am told that this city is well organise. So all the hotels are at one place, all schools at one, restaurants at one and Colleges at one. Wow. Imagine. My friend told me that they never believe children should be away in school at a far off place so apartments and housing are near schools and he children would just cross the road and go to school, swimming, language class . The city is beautiful. They wanted to put up a gateway, which has been done and there was a lot of opposition saying this is not in the plan. I saw the palace which is so beautiful with lot of greenery and open spaces.
