Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, is the success example of moving capital into the interior from the seacoast for the purpose of the national defense, the interior land development, and national integrity. It was constructed as a representative city of modernism designed by town planner Lucio Costa and architecture Oscar Niemeyer. The city as a landmark in the history of town planning was inscribed as a World Heritage in 1987. But since 2000, it has confronted the threats from housing, identity, social cohesion, changes in local population and local community, and legal framework. Major issues concerning the conservation and management plan would contain continuous increasing number of population and its contiguous changes on land use pattern and new construction of artificial structures.
