Águas Claras is an administrative region in the Federal District, Brazil.
History
In December 1992, District Law No. 385 authorized the implementation of Águas Claras, then a neighborhood in Taguatinga; its occupation plan was approved later that same year.[citation needed] Designed by architect and urbanist Paulo Zimbres, Águas Claras began construction shortly afterwards. It was separated from Taguatinga as the Federal District's twentieth administrative region on May 6 2003, through District Law No. 3153.[citation needed]
The neighborhood was notable for its accelerated growth, with large and diversified real estate developments.[citation needed]
Águas Claras has an area of approximately 31.5 km² [citation needed] and a population of just over 135 thousand. [1]
Etymology
Its name is reference to the stream within the region which flows into Lake Paranoá.[citation needed]
