Washington – die bescheidene Hauptstadt eines riesigen Landes
Die Hauptstadt der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika – Washington – ist eine relativ junge und geplante Stadt.
Während seiner Regentschaft hat der Präsident George Washington hier eine neue, groß angelegte Bebauung eingeleitet, die zum Wahrzeichen einer neuen Hauptstadt der USA werden würde. An unseren Tagen sind in Washington alle Regierungsorgane und finanzielle Organisationen mit weltweiter Bedeutung versammelt. Hier funktionieren Vertretungen aller Äste der föderalen Gewalt, Dutzende diplomatische Botschaften, das Headquarter der Weltbank und des IWF.Auf der Karte der Hauptstadt sind gleich 6 von 10 herausragendsten Architekturanlagen der USA angeführt. Unter ihnen ist die Kathedrale, das Präsidentenanwesen, das Capitol, die Memoriale Jeffersons, Linkolns und der Vietnamkriegveterane. Eine andere Sehenswürdigkeit der amerikanischen Hauptstadt ist das Monument von Washington, das die höchste Anlage der Stadt darstellt. Ein beliebter Ort für die Liebhaber von Shopping ist das Handelszentrum von Ronald Regan mit der Fläche von fast 300 Tausend Quadratmetern.Der Reiseführer für die Stadt hebt das kulturelle und wissenschaftliche Zentrum der Hauptstadt hervor – die Nationale Allee, auf die Fassaden der Museen der amerikanischen und natürlichen Geschichte, der Luft- und Raumfahrt, Museen des Smitson-Instituts.Die U-Bahnlinien und Busverbindungen machen das öffentliche Verkehrsnetz Washingtons aus und verbinden die Stadt mit der Umgebung. An Werktagen fahren die Vorstadtbewohner in die Stadt selbst, um zu arbeiten, wodurch seine Bevölkerung sich fast verdoppelt. Deshalb ist die U-Bahn von Washington die meistbelastete U-Bahn nach der U-Bahn von New York. Die Hauptstadt hat als erste in den USA ein System der öffentlichen Nutzung der Fahrräder integriert. Nun kann jeder ein Fahrrad in einem von einer Vielzahl der Verleihpunkten, die über die ganze Stadt verstreut sind, mieten.
