Federal Capital
A federal capital is a political entity, often a municipality or capital city, that serves as the seat of the federal government. A federal capital is typically a city that physically encompasses the offices and meeting places of its respective government, where its location and relationship to subnational states are fixed by law or federal constitution. Federal capitals may or may not be considered states in themselves, and either exercise significant political autonomy from the federation or are directly ruled by the national government located within their premises, as federal districts. Federal capitals are often new creations. That is, they are not established in one of the existing state capitals (but they may well be a pre-existing city).

Theories Doxiadis is the father of "ekistics", which concerns the science of human settlements, including regional, city, community planning and dwelling design.

However, ekistics attempts to encompass all scales of human habitation and seeks to learn from the archaeological and historical record by looking not only at great cities, but, as much as possible, at the tota ...
