Interesting article about Brasília and the contrast between rich and poor. The city of Brasília was totally planned and built from scratch to be the capital of Brasil. It became the capital in 1960, so it is a pretty young city. Before that, Rio de Janeiro was the country's capital.

I love how the city is planned out in the shape of a plane. I will most likely be visiting this city with my friend this year so this article was a great read! Obrigado
