Centro-Sul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Centro-Sul is the name given to the Southeastern and Southern regions of Brazil (see Brazil Regional Division), excluding the north of Minas Gerais and along with Goiás and southern areas of Mato Grosso do Sul and Tocantins.
The most remarkable characteristics of the region is the human domination over the nature: Only ~5% of the native vegetation is left. Other very strong characteristic is populational and economic: most industries are concentrated in the area and responsible for ~75% of the national GDP.
The region also is characterized by having a high standard of living (HDI of ~0.850, in average), where social problems are less problematic than in other regions (at least, in rural and small-medium sized cities).
