The city also hosts various cultural institutions, including museums, theaters, and art galleries, making it a vibrant center for arts and culture.

Finally, Brasília features numerous parks and green areas, promoting outdoor activities and a connection to nature. This emphasis on greenery enhances the quality of life for residents.

As well as providing infrastructure for activities thus creating a sense of community.

two rivers

very dynamic and full of options

Lots of parks

some bike lanes

quite easy to walk around (you don’t necessarily need a car to move within the city) and to reach basic facilities

The public transportation system can be limited and often underperforms, leading to long wait times and inadequate coverage, making it difficult for residents to navigate the city.

Unfortunately, the city’s design also contributes to urban sprawl, which can result in increased commuting times and dependency on cars, leading to traffic congestion.

Brasília has also a relatively high cost of living compared to other Brazilian cities, which can make it challenging for some residents to afford housing and basic services.

Lack of parking spaces

old part of the city is not made for bicycles

lots of illegal building areas

air pollution

geographical position (being in a valley the city doesn’t easily have air exchange so it remains polluted)

net of transportation (they are electric but they don’t connect very well all the parts of the city, even worse considering the connection between the city itself and its outskirt)

disparity between the areas (some areas are more developed than others, the suburbs are definitely less healthy due to the absence of green areas and the lack of accessible facilities)
