Field notes
Brazil's planned-capital sibling to Brasília — 200km south, with a flatter and less-bureaucratic feel. Setor Marista, Setor Bueno, and Setor Oeste are the dense walkable pockets. Brazilian DNV applies the same way as São Paulo or Rio. Coworking is thinner than the coastal cities. Cerrado climate is dry-warm year-round with a sharp dry season (May–September). Brasília is two hours by car for federal-district orbit.
