Juario : Brazil's New World City
Juario's city history are very depressing. City of Juario and Brazilian Government have worked together to transform Juario from a small shanty port town at the Jackson Harbour, 300 miles south from Rio de Janeiro. The City of Juario was reported to be settled by Portugeuse (or Spanish) in the 17th Century, but the town was generally abandoned due to the lack of "flat land" for proper development. Juario struggled its growth for more than 400 years until when Brazilian Government finally recognised Juario as a "proper town" for government assistance and economy aid. it wasn't until 1999 when Brazilian Government realised that Juario's history is catastrophic, and urgently need a government assistance and that's when the largest government scheme/project have been launched ever under taken within the Brazilian Government. The project is Juario : Brazil's New World City. With this massive project, Juario have grew from a small town of 2,000 farmers in 1960 to over 400,000 residents - according to the 1999 Census. The population growth is so severe and City of Juario is unable to keep up with a such rapid growth, and leading to the risk of overpopulation by soon as 2005.
All of these houses on the hills with an excellent view of city centre skyline, and the amazing new road bridge over Jackson Harbour, and also the brand new North South Bypass Tunnel. Along with a long list of the new infrastructures, all wouldn't happen if Brazilian Government didn't help and save Juario in 1960. Juario's current tallest tower is Jackson Central Tower, which it roses for 297 metres up into the sky, and it is most recognisable tower in the city, even from up to 55 miles away. (The tower is blocked in this picture, it is behind of the second and third [which it was the tallest] tallest tower in the city)
Inner city suburbs with Juario City Centre down to the bottom of the picture. Have you noticed how EASY it is for cars to drive around with easiest motorway links from the bridge to another motorway? A lot of drivers love the road system in Juario, because it is fast and effective.
The picture is taken from North Rock, up from the North Cove. North Rock is famous for beautiful views of the city and surrounding suburbs and it is really popular hot spot for New Year Eves fireworks and everything. You can see the beautiful mountain landscapes around the city.
The view of Juario, from east. You can see the big egg-shaped moutain on the middle of this picture - thats' Mt Hagley and a lot of people would fight each other to get perfect family home near Mt Hagley to grap the inner city living opportunities.
