Abstract

Brasílija je glavni grad Brazila i najveći grad u njegovoj unutrašnjosti. Zauzima površinu od 5 814 km², a prema podacima iz 2014. imala je 2 852 372 stanovnika. Čuvena prijestolnica koja je izgrađena 1960. jedinstveni je primjer grada nastalog ex nihilo. Inicijativu za izgradnju grada pokrenuo je tadašnji predsjednik Juscelino Kubitschek 1956., a sama ideja o glavnom gradu smještenom u unutrašnjosti zemlje javlja se još 1823.. Arhitektura i status glavnog grada čine ga specifičnim u odnosu na ostale brazilske gradove. Grad je zamišljen kao administrativno središte i središte vlade sa samo pola milijuna stanovnika. Grad je danas daleko od početne ideje, a odstupanje od početnog plana krenulo je odmah nakon završetka radova. Cilj je prikazati razliku između početne ideje Brasílije i onoga što taj grad predstavlja danas. U radu će se analizirati obilježja prostorne strukture (funkcionalna, socijalna i morfološka). U usporedbi sa podacima za dva brazilska grada, Curitiba i Recife, bit će prikazano da Brasílija nije tipičan primjer grada sa klasičnim gradskim procesima.

Abstract (english)

Brasília is the capital of Brazil and the biggest city in its interior. The area of Brasília is 5 814 km². According to data from 2014 city had 2 852 372 inhabitants. The famous capital, that was built in 1960, is a unique example of town created ex nihilo. The initiative to build the city launched the President Juscelino Kubitschek 1956, but idea of the capital, located in the interior was there even in 1823. Architecture and the status of capital make it specific in relation to other Brazilian cities. The city is designed as administrative center and the center of government with only half million inhabitants. Today, city is far from initial idea and deviation from original plan started right after city was built. The aim is to show difference between the initial idea of Brasília and what this city represents today. This paper will analyze the characteristics of spatial structure (functional, social and morphological). Compared with the two Brazilian cities, Curitiba and Recife, there will be shown that Brasília isn’t a typical example of a city with a classical city processes.
