Welcome to Brasília maps and facts
Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, is a monument to what Brazilians can do and have done. It's a city pointing like an arrow into the future. It's built on a massive scale, with large, innovative buildings, a freedom of spirit and imagination. It was built to honor the beauty and soul of Brazil, yet it does not attract or charm visitors the way other Brazilian cities do.
The city was planned with space set aside in every residential block for apartments, restaurants, shops and services. The theory that each apartment block, quadra, would create its own egalitarian neighborhood. Planning down to the smallest detail, including the color and make of taxi cabs and bus drivers uniforms, the urban planners allowed for a maximum of 500,000 residents. Instead, with the thousands of workers that came to build the city, and stayed, the population growth spurred a number of "satellite" cities surrounding the capital.

There are two main roadways in the city. Eixo Monumental runs east/west for a distance of more than 6 miles (10km). The monuments and public buildings are along this route, and it divides the wings of the airplane int Asa Norte, or N (north wing), and Asa Sul, or S (south wing). Eixo Rodoviario runs in a north/south curving line. They intersect at the Rodoviaria, the city's bus terminal. This is the only building Costa designed, and he envisioned it as the central gathering place for the residents.
