Distrito Federal is a federal territory in Brazil that contains the capital city, Brasília. Established on April 21, 1960, Brasília was created as part of a national strategy to promote the development of the interior of the country and to reduce the concentration of political and economic power in coastal cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
The area of Distrito Federal encompasses approximately 5,802 square kilometers and is home to a diverse population of around 3 million people. Brasília is known for its modernist architecture and urban planning, having been designed by the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer and urban planner Lúcio Costa. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its unique design and cultural significance.
In addition to being the political center of Brazil, Distrito Federal is known for its parks and recreational areas, which offer residents and visitors opportunities for outdoor activities. The region has a growing economy, with key sectors including government, services, and commerce, making it an important hub within the country.
