History

Vicente Pires was created on May 26, 2009, by the approval of law nº 814/2008. Vicente Pires was dismembered from Taguatinga and started to have its own administration, becoming an administrative region. This occurred 20 years after the first farms in the former agricultural colony.[3] Vicente Pires then comes to comprise the Vicente Pires Housing Sector, Samambaia Housing Sector, São José Housing Sector and Cana-do-Reino Housing Sector.[4]

Some streets were restored, but the population still suffers with the lack of conservation and potholes.[5] More recently, there have been investments to the administrative region's road infrastructure.[6]

Geography

The Administrative Region is bordered by Taguatinga, Águas Claras, Guará, SCIA, SAI, Brazlândia and Brasília.[7]

Infrastructure

Vicente Pires is served by a power grid, public lighting and asphalt paving, with projects for a water supply and sanitation system in the implementation phase.[8][9] The region presents recurring problems regarding the maintenance of roads, being sensitive to flooding and easily deteriorating in periods with heavy rainfall, which gave it the nickname "Buraco Pires".[10][11]
