Brasilia, Contradictions of a New City

In 1967, de Andrade was invited by the Italian company Olivetti to produce a documentary on the new Brazilian capital city of BrasÃlia. Constructed during the latter half of the 1950s and founded in 1960, the city was part of an effort to populate Brazilâ€™s vast interior region and was to be the embodiment of democratic urban planning, free from the class divisions and inequalities that characterize so many metropolises. Unsurprisingly, BrasÃlia, ContradiÃ§Ãµes de uma Cidade Nova (BrasÃlia, Contradictions of a New City, 1968) revealed BrasÃlia to be utopic only for the wealthy, replicating the same social problems present in every Brazilian city.
