Sao Paulo (port. So Paulo) is a city in the southeast of Brazil, the capital of the state of the same name. Located in the valley of the Tiete River, 70 km from the Atlantic coast.
The city's area is 1523 km, and its population is 13.6 million people (according to IBGE 2011), making it the most populous city in Southern Hemisphere(with suburbs - about 21.2 million).
The architectural image of the city is created by a mixture of different eras and styles. Sao Paulo has preserved many ancient buildings, museums and churches. At the same time, Sao Paulo is one of the most modern cities, the main part of it is built up with skyscrapers made of glass and metal (such as Avenida Paulista), including the tallest skyscraper in Brazil - Miranti do Valli. Such a juxtaposition of styles does not look contrived and alien - on the contrary, ancient church can look harmonious against the background of the most modern building.
Demography
Languages
As throughout Brazil, the language spoken by the majority of the population is Portuguese. Due to the significant influx of immigrants from Italy, however, the city's Portuguese language was significantly influenced Italian language, especially its Neapolitan and Venetian dialects. Italian dialects mixed in the city with the provincial Caipira dialect; First of all, the city's dialect was formed in Mootzi, an area settled at the beginning of the 20th century by settlers from Naples and surrounding areas.
Other languages spoken in the city, primarily among immigrants, are Japanese, common in the Liberdad district, home to the largest Japanese diaspora in the world. Although most Brazilians of Japanese descent speak exclusively Portuguese, some still retain the traditions and language of their ancestors. Also, a certain proportion of immigrants from China and Korea speak the corresponding languages, although this proportion is small.
English and spanish languages taught in schools as main foreign languages, however, very few city residents achieve fluency in them.
Ethnic diversity and population size
São Paulo has the greatest ethnic diversity of residents of any city in Brazil. After the slave trade was banned in Brazil in 1850, landowners in the state began replacing African labor on the coffee plantations with immigrants. This practice was started by Senator Nicolau Vergueiro, who brought in Germans, Swiss and Portuguese from Europe to work on his plantations.
The Brazilian city of Sao Paulo is located in the valley of the Tiete River, 70 km from the coast.
São Paulo occupies part of a plateau in the region of the Serra do Mar ("seaside mountains"), which, in turn, is part of the even larger Brazilian Highlands.
Unlike the Pacific coast South America this Atlantic region is tectonically very stable and no seismic activity can be traced here. The topography of the city itself is predominantly hilly. In the north, where the Serra da Cantareira mountains pass, is the highest point of the city, Mount Pico do Jaragua.
Main river the city of Tiete with the Pinheiros tributary, thoroughly polluted by industrial wastewater, but subject to periodic cleaning. There are no ships operating on the river within the city limits, although navigation is very active downstream.
There are no natural lakes in the city; there are two reservoirs, Guarapiranga and Billings, which are reservoirs drinking water.
Geographical position The city is interesting because the Tropic of Capricorn, located at 23°26°16" south of the equator, passes through Sao Paulo. The Tropic of Capricorn marks the boundary between tropical and temperate natural area South America. Due to the mild climate and high rainfall, tropical and subtropical vegetation is very abundant. Eucalyptus trees are especially useful for the city: fast-growing trees drain lowlands and eliminate the threat of waterlogging after heavy rains.
In the Southern Hemisphere, winter falls during our summer months and summer during our winter months. In winter there is practically no frost, in summer it often rains, and the temperature rarely rises above 30°C. Recently, in August, despite the fact that it is a winter month here, the temperature sometimes reaches 28°C. This phenomenon is called veranico (Portuguese for “little summer”).
Sao Paulo's weather is extremely unstable and local residents They say that here four seasons can change in one day. In the morning a cool wind blows from the ocean, during the day it is dry and hot, and in the evening the cold air returns.
City `s history
Like many other settlements in Brazil, the settlement of São Paulo Campos de Piratinga was founded by monks of the Jesuit order. In 1554, they established a mission here and began to convert the local Tupi-Guarani Indian tribes, who worshiped the spirits of their ancestors, to Catholicism.
More convenient place there was no way to develop this region: at the foot of the Serra do Mar mountain range, on the Tiete River, from where it is a stone's throw to the bay and port of Santos and the roads to the west, to a huge fertile plateau.
In the XVII-XVIII centuries. the village grew, its population was replenished by adventurers who called themselves bandeirants - hunters for slaves, gold and everything that could make them rich. Despite their dubious reputation, the bandeirants contributed to the expansion of the territory of Brazil and the discovery of deposits of gold and precious stones. The starting point of their campaigns was São Paulo. For their contribution to the development of São Paulo, several monuments were dedicated to the Bandeirants, and the largest of them is the Monument as Bandeiras, one of the main city attractions.
Sao Paulo, which grew rich from the export of coffee, received the status of a city in 1711. After the abolition of slavery in 1888, Europeans began to be attracted to work on the plantations and crowds of immigrants from Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany and other countries began to arrive in Sao Paulo. More than 100 ethnic groups call the city home. The city even has an Immigrant Memorial Museum, which contains materials on the history and immigrant heritage of São Paulo.
One should always distinguish between paulistanos - city dwellers and pauli-stas - residents of the entire state.
Sao Paulo is located in the southeastern part of the Brazilian city of the same name, approximately equidistant from Curitiba, the capital of the neighboring state of Parana and, former capital Brazil and the country's second largest city after Sao Paulo.
The official motto of the city was the Latin phrase Non ducor, duco, which can be translated as “not followed, but leading.” These words very accurately reflect the position and importance of São Paulo as the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere, the most populated city in the Western Hemisphere, the main economic and cultural center Brazil.
In the 20th century Coffee prices were brought down by the global economic crisis, but by this time trade and industries that had nothing to do with coffee had successfully developed in the city.
Today's São Paulo is focused on services, finance and education. Experiencing economic and social problems, Sao Paulo remains the largest business center Latin America.
The city of São Paulo is the core of the huge agglomeration Grande São Paulo, or Greater São Paulo. Greater São Paulo, consisting of 39 municipalities, ranks seventh in the world. If we consider the “general statistical area”, which is an agglomeration with 29 million inhabitants, then Sao Paulo is the second largest city in the world after Tokyo.
São Paulo has the most developed economy among the cities of Brazil and MERCOSUR, especially in the field of trade and finance: the city has 1,500 banks and their branches, the São Paulo Exchange is the main financial and commodity exchange in Brazil, it is the largest exchange in Latin America and the third largest in terms of volume trading in the world. Industry has faded into the background, giving way to the service sector, mainly in the entertainment industry.
The structure and architecture of the city also changed greatly depending on the circumstances, but the modern face of the city was formed in the middle of the 20th century. The rich city was able to afford the services of the world famous architect Oscar Niemeyer. Before building the future new capital, the city of Brasilia, in the early 1950s, Oscar Niemeyer built the Montreal business center, the Eiffel and Copan residential buildings, as well as the international exhibition complex in Sao Paulo. buildings of the main park of Sao Paulo - Ibirapuera.
The city loves to build expensive and unusual houses, bringing Sao Paulo world fame: such as the Museum of Art, one of the most famous and visited museums in Latin America and in the world, and local residents also go to their museum very actively, which distinguishes them from residents of many other cultural capitals.
Today Sao Paulo is the largest Portuguese-speaking city in the world. The language of interethnic communication remains Portuguese, which is significantly influenced by Italian. In addition to literary Portuguese, the local Caipira dialect is in circulation among the poorly educated population. English and Spanish are compulsory in schools.

A little history
The history of Sao Paulo dates back to 1554, when a group of Jesuit missionaries decided to found a city here.

The 17th century marked the beginning of the Gold Rush; bandeirants and gold miners from all over the world rushed to Brazil. In the 18th century, several deposits of precious stones and metals were discovered in the vicinity of Santos. It received the official title of the city and its present name in 1711. The 19th century is the beginning of the prosperity of the economic, industrial and commercial life of the city. From the numerous coffee plantations of São Paulo, coffee was exported to different countries peace. In the 20th century, the world experienced a great economic crisis, and coffee sales declined sharply. To avoid bankruptcy, many entrepreneurs tried to redirect their financial investments to other areas of industry. This led to a huge influx of immigrants - Italians, Arabs and Japanese.
