Brasilia (Capital Federal)
The plans for this city were laid in the ‘50s. As a result, many streets and buildings have odd but interesting shapes. In the center of the so-called “pilot plan” a TV tower has been erected. From the observation platform, one can better understand the layout.
The “pilot plan” features many open areas and extremely wide avenues. Unfortunately, much of this are is covered with a combination of grass + dust instead of something like grass + trees.
But the city planners did not pay too much attention to public transport. As a result, there is a metro system covering only small portion of the town, and many buses for the rest.
