However, the government felt that having a capital city on the coast was not a very good idea. Firstly because a coastal capital left the country vulnerable to foreign attacks from the sea. Secondly, there was the need to bring the capital closer to other interior areas of the country, which were far away from the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Further reading:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/interesting-facts-about-brazil\/\">11+ Interesting Facts About Brazil<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Rio had also grown far too crowded for a capital. Meanwhile, only a few thousand people occupied the central region of Brazil. Moving the capital to a central region would mean encouraging the occupation of other territories in the central highlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1955 Presidential Election, people elected Juscelino Kubitschek on a platform based on rapid economic development, driven by his slogan \u2018fifty years in five\u2019. His Plan of Goals was the highlight of his campaign. He aimed to open up and modernize the Brazilian economy and finally move the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watch teacher Deise\u2019s video on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CHK_K1AJ1pt\/\">electoral system in Brazil here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Background\"><\/span>Background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new capital of Brazil would be located in a special federal district, carved out from the state of Goi\u00e1s in Brazil\u2019s Centre-West region. This area was&nbsp;located in the highlands of Brazil, within Cerrado \u2014&nbsp;a savanna-like biome. It had been essentially an agricultural dead zone, mostly limited to beef production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more about the main biomes in Brazil in our blog post:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/biodiversity-brazil\/\">Biodiversity in Brazil: a Megadiverse Country<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving the country\u2019s capital to the Cerrado attracted many to the region, with the surrounding state of Goi\u00e1s alone growing nearly three times from 1950 to 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/brasilia-capital-brasil.jpg\" alt=\"brasilia capital brasil\" width=\"600\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/brasilia-capital-brasil.jpg 600w, https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/brasilia-capital-brasil-300x120.jpg 300w\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Construction\"><\/span>Construction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bras\u00edlia was a planned capital city created virtually from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an ideal place already selected, a public contest was held in 1956. Various Brazilian architects and city planners designed ideas of what the city would look like. The jury eventually selected L\u00facio de Costa\u2019s plan for the city. The plan showed the main avenues forming an irregular cross shape resembling that of an airplane. Moreover, the residential area would be located along the wings and the commercial and governmental buildings along the body. Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer was responsible for designing most of the buildings in Bras\u00edlia. Furthermore, Roberto Burle Marx was in charge of landscaping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of the new capital, however, had mixed reactions. Supporters praised the construction of Bras\u00edlia as a symbol of Brazil\u2019s coming of age. On the other hand, critics saw the construction as political maneuvering, which would not solve issues such as poverty and corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, the first part of the construction of the new capital of Brazil only took around four years. Bras\u00edlia was officially established as the new capital of Brazil on April 21, 1960.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brasilia_The_Capital_City_of_Brazil\"><\/span>Bras\u00edlia: The Capital City of Brazil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the Federal District that houses Bras\u00edlia is the third-largest metro area in Brazil, with a population of 4.2 million. In 1987, UNESCO included Bras\u00edlia on its World Heritage List because of its architectural work and distinctive urban plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Bras\u00edlia houses all three branches of Brazil\u2019s federal government: executive, legislative, and judiciary. Among the building located in Bras\u00edlia are the Planalto Palace headquarters of the Brazilian presidency, the National Congress, and the higher courts of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world\u2019s largest permanently hoisted flag is also located in Braz\u00edlia. The Brazilian flag measures 286 square meters and is hoisted on a 100-meter mast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/brasilia-capital-de-brasil.jpg\" alt=\"brasilia capital de brasil\" width=\"600\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/brasilia-capital-de-brasil.jpg 600w, https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/brasilia-capital-de-brasil-300x120.jpg 300w\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_in_Brasilia_The_Capital_City_of_Brazil\"><\/span>What to do in Bras\u00edlia: The Capital City of Brazil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ever visit Bras\u00edlia, the capital of Brazil, do not forget to visit these places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pra\u00e7a dos Tr\u00eas Poderes: The Three Powers Plaza.
