Rousas, Brazil: an emerging city in the Brazilian highlands

Brasilius is not a real national city and is presumed to be a misspelling of Brasília, the capital of Brazil. Brasília is the capital of the Federative Republic of Brazil, located in the Central Plateau of Brazil, and officially became the new capital on April 21, 1960, in order to implement the National Inland Development Strategy.

Urban planning and architectural features

Brasilia is known for its modern urban planning, with a master plan designed by architect Lucio Costa and major buildings by Oscar Niemeyer. The city is laid out in the shape of an airplane and is divided into administrative, commercial and residential areas. It has landmarks such as the Plaza de los Tres Direitos and the Cathedral of Brasília, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Economic and demographic profile

As the political center of Brazil, Brasilia is dominated by services and government functions, and has one of the highest GDP per capita in the country. With a population of about 3.05 million according to 2022 data, it is the fourth largest city in Brazil. The city has a high level of greenery and the artificial Lake Paranoá provides recreational space for residents, but the surrounding satellite towns suffer from a wealth gap.

Tourism and Cultural Highlights

Visitors can visit modernist buildings such as the Capitol and the Presidential Palace, and experience the unique local cuisine that blends the flavors of the Brazilian interior. The anniversary of the capital's foundation stone is celebrated each April with a wealth of activities, while the arid climate (May-September is the best time to visit) makes outdoor exploration particularly desirable.
