NationMaster - Encyclopedia: List of major cities in Brazil

Note: This does not intend to attend all Brazilian cities, only the major ones (number of inhabitants of the município, economy importance, strategical position). While List of cities in Brazil presents a rough list of most Brazilian cities, this list is intended to give more detailed information, and easy access to most Brazilian major cities (which cannot be done in the main list due to its large size, 89 kb). Also, some may disagree with the figures presented here, since the list is based on the population of the município where the city is located, rather than its urban sprawl Image File history File links SP_saopaulo_17_g. ...

Urbanization

Brazil has a relatively high reported level of urbanization, with 8 out of 10 Brazilians living in cities (144 million out of 180 million).

The criteria used by the IBGE in determining whether households are urban or rural, however, are based on political divisions, not on the built environment. A town is any seat of a district (the lowest political division); a city is the seat of a municipality. By such criteria, Brazil has over 6,000 cities (ten times as many as China) and 12,000 towns. It is estimated that, if more traditional criteria (size of human agglomeration, cultural and economic institutions, regional centrality, paving and street lighting) were used, perhaps 65% of Brazil's population would be urban, rather than 80%. IBGE, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatistica), is the agency responsible for statistical, geographic, cartographic, geodetic and environmental information in Brazil. ...

Cities in Brazil, except for the state of São Paulo, are usually not arranged in a network, but rather on various "export paths" to seaside ports. Some geographers have called this an "archipelago," and most important cities are on the coast or close to it. State capitals are also each the largest city in its state, the exceptions being Palmas, the new capital of the recently created state of Tocantins, and Florianópolis, the capital of Santa Catarina; there are also non-capital metropolitan areas in São Paulo (Campinas, Santos, Paraíba Valley), Minas Gerais (Steel Valley), Rio Grande do Sul (Sinos Valley), and Santa Catarina (Itajaí Valley). Most of the non-capital large cities in Brazil are in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Paraná.

São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are far larger than any other Brazilian city. São Paulo's area of influence in most economic domains is national (and even international) in scale; other Brazilian metropolises are second tier, even though Rio de Janeiro - thanks in part to its old status as the national capital - is still the seat to various large corporations besides being the nation's cultural center.

Some of the principal Brazilian cities are planned cities; the most famous of these is Brasília, which represents, with Chandigarh in the Punjab, India, the acme of the Modernist school of architecture and urbanism. Nickname: Location of BrasÃlia Coordinates: Region Central-West State Distrito Federal Founded 21 April 1960 Government - Administrator Ricardo Hernane Pires Area - City 5,802 kmÂ² (2,240. ... Chandigarh (Punjabi: , Hindi: , pronunciation: ) also called The City Beautiful , is a city in India that serves as the capital of two states: Punjab and Haryana. ...
