The facilities in a city that no one lives in? It would be like building facilities in Naypyidaw or Brasilia, capitals built to escape from their people.

  What do you mean Brasilia? It might have an empty feeling sometimes(especially compared to other crowded Brazilian cities), but it is growing and thriving, can't say the same about Astana or Naypyidaw because I've never been to either

    Brasília for some time is trying to be less dependent on the government to grow, but I doubt it will be successful in any economic sector outside of public one. The stadium built there for World Cup is the biggest shame and example that GP is right. Anyway, the assessment of building a capital to escape its population is correct regardless.

      The Stadium is not only in Brasilia. All over the country they built stadiums for world cup that are underutilized or in places where there isn't even a league to play into it.

      To be fair that is partly its own population to blame, some people will even looking at you funny if you're not in the public sector(personal experience, and not just me). It was pretty obvious that the stadium would be a big failure, all stadiums outside of major football cities are(Cuiabá, Manaus), even stadiums in big football cities struggle to negotiate with clubs and end up empty most of the time. I just can't agree that Brasilia was built to escape the country's population, it was built just to overspend abundant injection of foreign investment.
