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.
