Goiânia, Modern capital in central Brazil
Goiânia is the capital of Goiás state in central Brazil, set in the highlands at roughly 750 meters in the Meia Ponte River valley. The city spreads across a planned grid of wide avenues and many public squares distributed among residential neighborhoods.
The state government commissioned the city starting in 1933 as a new administrative seat to replace the old capital Goiás. The official inauguration took place in 1942 after the main buildings and streets were completed.
Residents walk through several large parks every day, where families gather and people meet after work. Many buildings from the 1940s show art deco lines that defined how the city was meant to look from the beginning.
An international airport along with highways and railway lines connect the city to other major centers in Brazil. Most sights and parks are easy to reach by car or bus.
The city has more green space per resident than any other major city in Brazil, with many parks and conservation areas distributed throughout the urban area. Some of these spaces were set aside during the original planning in the 1930s and later expanded.
