brasilia tutto sommato e' abbastanza riuscita, mi diceva un'amica brasiliana. peraltro costruita in 41 mesi.... http://web.archive.org/web/20070122214429/www.geocities.com/~augusto_areal/projects.htm qui tutti i progetti ricevuti dal governo durante il bando. un progetto prevedeva la costruzione di megapalazzine da 200.000 persone l'una. mi domando perche' non abbia vinto... altre citta' costruite da zero: Besides Brasilia, many cities were planned and built specifically to be the capital of their countries. Washington started to be built in the late eighteenth century; the city became the capital of the United States in 1800. Canberra started to be built in 1913, and was declared capital of Australia in May 09, 1927. Canberra’s urban project was chosen among 137 entries in an international contest. Architect Walter Burley Griffin, author of the winning project, said Canberra should be "unlike any other city in the world". Islamabad is a little more recent than Brasilia. The city was appointed Pakistan’s future capital in 1959, and started to be built in the sixties. According to this official site, "The master plan of this most modern city was prepared in 1960 by M/s. Constantinos Doxiades, a Greek firm of Architects. Construction was started in October 1961. The city came into life on 26 October, 1966, when the first office building of Islamabad was occupied." It is important to note that these three cities were built relatively close to big cities that already existed. Canberra is 244 km from Sydney, and Washington is 327 km from New York. Islamabad is so close to Rawalpindi that they are considered twin cities. Brasilia, by the other side, is 931 km from Rio de Janeiro and 870 km from Sao Paulo. (these measures refer to air distances, not land distances) Note: the above text is only about cities built to be country capitals. Many other cities were built to be the capital of a country's state or province. Maybe the most famous of such cities is Chandigarh, built to be the capital of the state of Punjab, in India. |
