[:ja]セルゲイ・リャザンスキー宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したブラジルの首都ブラジリアです。
ブラジリアはブラジル中部の標高約1,100mの高原地帯に建設された、計画都市で、市域の人口は、2016年7月1日で約300万人、同国3位の人口規模を誇ります。ブラジル高原の荒涼とした未開の大地（セハード）に建設された計画都市。ブラジル人建築家ルシオ・コスタの設計により建設された計画都市地域は、人造湖であるパラノア湖のほとりに飛行機が翼を広げた形をしており、飛行機の機首の部分に国会議事堂や行政庁舎、最高裁判所が並び、翼の部分には高層住宅や各国の大使館があります。国会議事堂や大聖堂などの主要建造物は、いずれもモダニズムの流れを受けた未来的なデザインで作られています。これらの公共建築の主任建築家は、ニューヨーク市の国際連合本部ビルの設計も担当したブラジル人建築家オスカー・ニーマイヤーです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.831: Brasilia, Brazil🇧🇷
Astronaut Sergey Ryazansky captured from ISS Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.
Brasília, the capital and the country’s 3rd most populous city, is located atop the Brazilian highlands in the country’s center-western region and was founded on April 21, 1960, to serve as the new national capital. Brasília was planned and developed by Lúcio Costa, Oscar Niemeyer and Joaquim Cardozo in 1956 to move the capital from Rio de Janeiro to a more central location. The landscape architect was Roberto Burle Marx. The city’s design divides it into numbered blocks as well as sectors for specified activities, such as the Hotel Sector, the Banking Sector and the Embassy Sector. Brasília was chosen as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its modernist architecture and uniquely artistic urban planning.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
