Title: Two Brazilian Capitals: Architecture and Urbanism in Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia

Author: Norma Evenson

Publisher: Yale University Press

Date: 1973

Description: From the dust jacket: "Combining a sympathetic understanding of man's habits and needs as a city user, a year of research in Brazil, and her skills as an architectural historian, Norma Evenson here examins Brazilian urban design and architecture in terms of the modern development of the old capital, Rio de Janeiro, and the new capital, Brasilia. In her analysis of Rio and Brasilia as both functioning cities and symbolic capitals, she illuminates the problems and processes - political, economic, and social - of urbanization in a developing country."
