Be the Mayor of Brasília

Brasília, Brazil · 31 people · Heritage City

The Companhia Urbanizadora da Nova Capital (Novacap) and the Federal District Secretariat of Transport maintain Oscar Niemeyer's UNESCO-listed modernist government quarter, manage the Paranoá Lake water quality programs, and execute the BRT Expresso DF rapid transit expansion to connect the car dependent Pilot Plan with surrounding satellite cities.

The seat for Brasília on the Board of Mayors is open. Seat #1 is yours to take.

The city

Landmark: National Congress Building & Cathedral of Brasília.

• Novacap maintains the structural integrity and heritage standards of the 60-year-old Pilot Plan — a UNESCO World Heritage urban layout shaped like an airplane, where every sector zone (residential, commercial, embassy) was predesignated and requires special heritage planning permissions for any modification.
• The Federal District Secretariat of Transport operates a BRT network connecting 35 satellite cities to the Pilot Plan core, since Brasília was designed entirely around private car travel in the 1950s — meaning retrofitting pedestrian infrastructure and public transit into a car first city plan is one of its defining governance challenges.

How a term works

Take office and every day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is scored on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, inside a real budget, and every mayor's work adds to Brasília's own record on the Board of Mayors. You are not alone in office: message and chat with other mayors, form a council with friends, trade with nearby cities and send aid. Cities rise together: there is no losing city.
