Brasilia is the capital of Brazil (cities South America) . John Bosco heard a heavenly voice prophecy that this place is the promised land for the Brazilians, which will lead them to wealth. This information can be treated differently, but the fact remains: the new capital of Brazil has grown exactly in the very place that John Bosco saw in his wonderful dream. The angel even reported the exact coordinates of the future city: between 15 and 20 degrees south latitude. And Brasilia is really located between 15 and 16 degrees, in the central-western region of the country, on the shore of the promised lake, it turned out to be the artificial Paranoa reservoir.

Brazil, or Brazil(port. Brasília), - the capital and seat of government of the Federal District. According to the census conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics in 2010, the population of the city is 2,562,963 people, according to this indicator it is the fourth largest city countries. In terms of GDP per capita, Brasilia is in second place (40,696 reais), second only (60,592 reais). Together with (139 km) and (209 km), it makes up the axis "Brazil - Anapolis - Goiania", which is the most developed region of the Central-Western region.

On April 21, 1960, President Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira moved the capital of Brazil to the city of Brasilia, which became the third capital of the country after Salvador and. The move of the federal administration to the new capital led to the fact that Brasilia became the center of executive, legislative and judicial power.

The project for the construction of the new capital, called the "pilot plan" (port. Plano Piloto), was designed by the architect Lucio Costa. Given the terrain and flood zone of the Paranoa reservoir, the "pilot plan" is actually an adaptation of a similar project proposed by Luis Kruls in 1893. Most of the administrative and public buildings in the city were designed by the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.

In 1987, the city was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Etymology

The city was named in 1960 after the name of the country, known since the 16th century. In the original Portuguese, the name of the city is written Brazil and differs from the spelling of the country - Brazil. In Russian spelling, the names of the country and the capital are the same and are transmitted with the ending -and I - Brazil. In order to distinguish between the name of the country and the city in Russian, the latter is often written according to the form adopted at one time for the transfer of the name - which is now recognized as incorrect.

Physical and geographical characteristics

View of the city from the ISS

Geographical position

Brasilia is located in the central part of the country on the Brazilian Plateau, at an altitude of 1000-1200 m above sea level, on the banks of the Paranoa reservoir near the Preto and Descoberto rivers. It occupies an area of ​​5801.937 km2. Geographical coordinates: 15°50′16″ S sh. 47°42′48″ W d.. The location was chosen specifically away from the main political centers of the country and Sao Paulo - in the central part of Brazil, which was practically empty at that time. This position was considered more advantageous from a strategic and military point of view.

Climate

The climate of the city is subequatorial, average temperature varies by months only within 3.6 degrees. Summers are wet and rainy, winters are drier. The average annual temperature is 21 °C. The warmest month is October (average temperature of the month is 22.7 °C). The coldest month is July (average monthly temperature is 19.1 °C). Wherein Maximum temperature, registered in Brasilia, was 35.8 ° C (October 28, 2008), and the minimum was 1.6 ° C, according to other sources - 0 ° C (July 18, 1975)

Average annual relative humidity air - 70%, in winter it drops to 20% and below.

Vegetation and ecology

The diversity of the flora is represented by more than 150 species of trees and shrubs. Most of them, which is typical for cerrado, reach a height of 15-25 m. For example: ceiba ( Ceiba speciosa), yellow lapacho ( Tabebuia serratifolia), caesalpinia hedgehog ( Caesalpinia echinata), buriti palm ( Mauritia flexuosa).

In the Federal District, the issue of preserving the unique flora is acute. Deforestation caused by the expansion of agricultural land is one of the problems in Brasilia. According to UNESCO, since 1950 the area of ​​forests has decreased by 57%. For conservation purposes, educational programs and structural reforms are being carried out to reduce the degradation of the flora and fauna, as well as the rivers of the region.

Hydrography

Stocks fresh water in the reservoirs of the Federal District, they are replenished at the expense of groundwater, so they do not dry out during the dry period. To increase the amount of water, it was decided to build a dam on the Paranoa River, resulting in the formation of a reservoir. The area of ​​the water surface of the reservoir is 40 km, maximum depth reaches 48 m, and its perimeter is 80 km.

Population

The population of the city during 1960 grew by 14.4%, and by the end of the decade, the total increase was 285%. In the 1970s, the city's population increased by 115.52%. According to the plan, the population of Brasilia was supposed to be 500 thousand people by 2000, but the estimated number of inhabitants was already exceeded by the beginning of the 1970s. Between 1980 and 1991, the number of citizens increased by 36.06%. By the early 1990s, the "pilot plan" had lost all meaning - the construction of many satellite cities was actively developing. According to the 2000 census, Brasilia has a population of 2,051,146. The human development index is 0.874, 4.35% of the city's residents remain illiterate. According to the United Nations, Brasilia is the 16th largest in the world and the 4th in the country in terms of population.

The local population is mostly represented by immigrants from the southeastern and northeastern parts of the country and employees of 123 foreign embassies. As of 2003, more than half of the city's residents are foreigners.

metropolitan region

The metropolitan region, in addition to the capital, includes a number of municipalities of the state: Nova Gama, Valparaiso de Goias, Cidadi Ocidental, Cristalina, Santo António do Descoberto, Aguas Lindas de Goias, Alesania, Abadiania, Pirenopolis, Cocalzinho di Goias, Padri Bernardo, Agua Fria de Goias, Planaltina, Vila Boa, Formosa and Cabeceiras, and the municipalities of the State: Unai and Buritis. As of 2007, 3,506,967 people live in the metropolitan area.

Growing pains

Although Brasilia takes great pride in being built according to plan, the design did not take the builders of the capital into account. It was assumed that after the grand opening of the capital, the builders would go home. However, they chose to stay in Brasilia, but could not afford to live in the expensive apartments they built themselves. Therefore, I had to settle around the green zone of Brasilia. Several cities soon sprang up larger than Brasilia. Today, only 400,000 people live in the city that was planned, many apartments are empty, and almost 2 million residents have settled in satellite cities that were not part of the original plan. Despite the fact that it was planned to create equal conditions for everyone in the city, due to the difference in income, the population was divided and settled in different cities.

Uncontrollable rapid population growth and class barriers cause crime (according to some reports, up to two murders a day are committed in Brasilia) and other socio-economic problems inherent in any city. The young capital of Brazil is experiencing "growing pains".

Story

Plan of the city of Brasilia

In 1955, presidential candidate Juscelino Kubicek vowed that if he was elected president, the new capital would be a reality before his five-year presidential term expired. In April 1956, Kubitschek was elected president. Three years later, a 60,000-strong army of builders built a well-equipped city.

Transport

Public transport is represented by two metro lines ( photo gallery (indefinite) (unavailable link - story) . ), passing from the center through the southern wing to the satellite cities, as well as numerous bus routes, mainly converging at the central station of Rodoviaria.

In the administrative region of Brasilia, there are several public medical institutions: the main hospital of the Federal District (port. Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal, abbr. HBDF), regional hospitals of Asa Norte (port. Hospital Regional da Asa Norte, abbr. HRAN) and Asa Sula (port. Hospital Regional da Asa Sul, abbr. HRAS), as well as the hospital of the University of Brasilia (port. Hospital Universitário de Brasilia). A number of administrative regions have their own hospitals, which are subordinate to the Department of Health of the Federal District. There are 12 such hospitals in total. The Brasilia healthcare system receives many complaints and criticisms. The subject of criticism most often is the low level of service, accusations of racism and inefficiency.

Between January and August 2008, 3,147 cases of dengue fever were recorded in Brasilia, almost twice as many as during the same period in 2007. Brasilia has one of the highest rates of cancer patients in the country. In 2005, a record death rate of women from breast cancer was recorded and this figure is not decreasing. Also, the number of patients with lung cancer is quite high, which is associated with the total tobacco addiction.

Education

National Library of Brasilia

Even at the stage of developing the city construction project, it was argued that education in the capital would be fundamentally different from the formation of the country. In the wake of the popularity of progressive education under the guidance of teacher Anisio Teixeira (port. Anisio Teixeira) and, in part, anthropologist Darcy Ribeiro. training in primary school The emphasis was on the development of the child's intellect, and not on the mechanical memorization of the content of educational subjects.

The secondary schools are located in L2, W4 and W5. There are two higher public educational institutions in the capital: the University of Brasilia (founded in 1962) and graduate School health sciences (port. Escola Superior de Ciências da Saude, abbr. ESCS; opened in 2001). In the field of private education, the largest educational institutions are the Catholic University of Brasilia (1974), the University Center of Brasilia (1968) and the University Center of the Federal District. The educational buildings of the University of Brasilia are located in a number of administrative districts of the capital.

The number of libraries is disproportionate to the number of residents of the capital. The basis of the book fund is made up of books from the libraries of the capital's university, the Congress and the Senate and the city library (port. Biblioteca Demonstrativa de Brasilia). In 2006 was opened National Library named after Leonel di Mura Brizola.

Brasilia was built in 1957-1960 by order of Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek specifically as the capital in the central part of Brazil. The master plan was drawn up by the architect L. Costa, using the ideas of Le Corbusier. O. Niemeyer became the chief architect of administrative and public buildings.

Among the outstanding creations of Niemeyer is the Cathedral of Brazil, the main premises of which are located underground, while only its dome made of concrete and stained glass is visible from the street.

The layout of the city is very unusual: from a bird's eye view, it can be seen that the main thoroughfares of the city with adjacent quarters form a kind of jet passenger aircraft flying to the southeast. Lucio Costa, however, claimed that he designed the city like a giant butterfly.

At the same time, most of the institutions of urban and federal significance are located in the fuselage of this "airplane". The central part is reserved for the sectors of hotels, shops, banks, etc. In the “tail of the plane” there are urban municipal institutions, and in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe "cockpit" - federal: the prosecutor's office, parliament (National Congress) and other institutions. The wings are residential quarters.

Axial main highways (port. Eixos) are surrounded by two-lane streets, and each, as a rule, has its own “specialization”: bank street, pharmacy street, etc.

Facade of the National Congress building

The addressing of residential buildings in the city is alphanumeric: the South or North wing is optionally indicated, the number of the superblock (quarter) - moreover, the even "hundreds" are located in the South wing, and the odd ones are in the North wing, the smaller ones are closer to the axial highway, the larger ones are further away; as well as a letter indicating a specific building in the block - there are always no more than 11 of them. Blocks are grouped by four, and such a group includes a school, church and a number of other social institutions. Finding the right address is easy. "N-102-L", for example, is located in the northern "wing" of the city, block 102, building L. And if you remember that the block numbers increase (102-116) when you go to the ends of the "wings", you can hardly go wrong .In neighborhoods, as a rule, a lot of greenery, the richest neighborhoods hire full-time gardeners. In each residential building, a security guard is required to control the flow of visitors.

For order and convenience, residential buildings above six floors are not built. It is also interesting that a certain amount of space above the ground is allocated for each city building by the master plan. In this regard, the most architecturally interesting buildings of the commercial sector (banks, shops, hotels, etc.) are, as a rule, more compact than their typical counterparts. Much more freedom is given to builders in the suburbs of Brasilia, where mostly poor citizens live.

At the same time, the wealthiest citizens most often buy villas on the opposite side of the central part of the city - the eastern bank of the reservoir.
