Parque da Cidade Brasília, a capital do Brasil. <i>O Parque da Cidade de Brasília Sarah Kubitschek, popularmente conhecido como Parque da Cidade, está situado em Brasília e tem 4,2 milhões de m². Localizado no centro da cidade, junto à Asa Sul, tem o terceiro maior pavilhão coberto para feiras e exposições do Brasil, com 55 mil m². Foi fundado por volta de 1978 e originalmente recebeu o nome de Rogério Pithon Farias, um jovem - filho do então governador - que morreu em um acidente de carro. É um dos principais centros de lazer ao ar livre da cidade, concentrando quadras de esportes, lagos artificiais, parque de diversões, centro hípico e pistas de caminhada, patinação e ciclismo. Além do mais, é o maior parque urbano do mundo, superando até mesmo o Central Park em Nova York. O parque ganhou fama nacional por meio da música Eduardo e Mônica do grupo candango Legião Urbana. Uma de suas áreas de lazer, com brinquedos destinados as crianças é chamado de Parque Ana Lídia em uma homenagem a uma menina de 7 anos covardemente estuprada e assassinada por jovens da elite da cidade no ano de 1973.</i> <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parque_da_Cidade_Sarah_Kubitschek" rel="nofollow">Wikipédia</a> Brasília, Brazilian capital. <i>Brasília is the capital of Brazil. The name is commonly spelled Brasilia in English. The city and its District are located in the Central-West region of the country, along a plateau known as Planalto Central. It has a population of about 2,557,000 (3,599,000 in the metropolitan area) as of the 2008 IBGE estimate, making it the fourth largest city in Brazil. However, as a metropolitan area, it ranks lower at sixth. It is listed as a World Heritage Site UNESCO. Brasília hosts 123 foreign embassies. As the national capital, Brasília is the seat of all three branches of the Brazilian government. The city also hosts the headquarters of many Brazilian companies. Planning policies such as the locating of residential buildings around expansive urban areas, as well as building the city around large avenues and dividing it into sectors, have sparked a debate and reflection on life in big cities in the 20th century. The city's planned design included specific areas for almost everything[clarification needed], including accommodation, Hotel Sectors North and South. New areas are now being developed for hotels, such as the Hotels and Tourism Sector North, on the shore of Lake Paranoá. The city was planned and developed in 1956 with Lúcio Costa as the principal urban planner and Oscar Niemeyer as the principal architect. On April 22 of 1960, it formally became Brazil's national capital. Viewed from above, the main portion of the city resembles an airplane or a butterfly. The city is commonly referred to as Capital Federal, or simply BSB. Residents of Brasília are known as brasilienses or candangos (the latter referring to those not born in the city, but migrated there when the city was established). In local usage, the word &quot;Brasília&quot; usually refers only to the First Administrative Region within the Distrito Federal (Federal District), where the most important government buildings are located. Brasília has a unique status in Brazil, as it is an adminstrative division rather than a legal municipality like nearly all cities in Brazil. Nationally, the term is almost always used synonymously with the Brazilian Federal District, which constitutes an indivisible Federative Unit, analogous to a state. There are several &quot;satellite cities,&quot; which are also part of the Federal District. Brasília International Airport is the main airport in Brasília, connecting the capital to all major Brazilian cities and many international destinations. It is the third most important airport of Brazil, in terms of passengers and aircraft movements.</i> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bras%c3%adlia" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>
