History

In December 1992, District Law No. 385 authorized the implementation of Águas Claras, then part of 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.[2]
