Brasilia: Modernist disaster or deceptively brilliant?
video description
Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for health or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed.

I actually kind of like the design of this place. Of course, the highway centrisism is a major issue, but I actually like the large green spaces, especially if they the shipping streets near the housing continue to thrive. It may not be how I'd design a city, but if you put some nice transit along the highways, it seems like it wouldn't be a bad place to live

Bicycles make life better.
Every child and adult should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
There is a world wide obesity epidemic leading to higher rates of heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer.
Everyone would be a little healthier if they rode a bicycle to work, school or for fun.

This came in perfectly! Currently doing a course on High Modernism by studying the book Seeing like a state - James C. Scott. Using Brasilia to explain the faulty of city building. It's an interesting read, putting Le Cobusier side to side with Jane Jaocbs.

As a native tupiniquim I can attest that it's not good.
Despite que good intentions for the simple reason that it's car centric. That place should have by now metro below and light rail above.

Completely off topic, it's just that this video made me remember the lack of video essays comparing the manga/anime Houseki no Kuni with Niemeyer's architecture. A shame Dave isn't an otako.

It reflects so much the time it was designed. All these blocks in the soviet style and 100% designed for cars. I went there once to visit and I walked A LOT just to across an avenue XD
