Exploring Brasilia North

There is a lot of blogging that does not get done when I am trying to write something serious. I am currently writing a piece for an Italian magazine, something about Brasilia and transformation. So I open my eyes a little more these days when I drive around.
Today I was in Asa Norte, and somewhat got a better feeling about the city, about the planning and its general intentions. It would be this idea of common areas where people share public equipments and time, I guess. Yet I am still unconvinced by the scale of all this. Parking takes over most of the center of the housing blocs. And that green without really any landscaping ends up looking like a no-mans-land rather than a place.
