I wouldn't call Brasilia a success, and I know quite a few people who agree
with that. I think that in the best case scenario, we can plan practical
structures, but not "well being" structures. And since this urban planning
happens a lot in the public administration sphere where things don't really
work along the "reason line", even the practical aspect is not quite
certain.
