  • Palmas, the Last Capital City Planned in Twentieth-Century Brazil
    Scientific Article DOI: 10.1590/2175-3369.012.e20190168 Palmas, the last capital city planned in twentieth-century Brazil Palmas, a última capital planejada no Brasil do século XX Renato Leão Rego[a] [a] Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM), Maringá, PR, Brasil How to cite: Rego, R. L. (2020). Palmas, the last capital city planned in twentieth-century Brazil. urbe. Revista Brasileira de Gestão Urbana, 12, e20190168. https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-3369.012.e20190168 Abstract Palmas is the capital of a new state created in order to foster regional development in central Brazil. This new town was planned from scratch in 1989, during the country’s re-democratization process, between the postmodernist criticism of functionalist planning and rising environmental concerns. However, its layout depicts a mixed relationship with Brasília-style urbanism. Covering a timeframe of thirty years (1989-2019), this paper presents an outline of the history and planning of Palmas, followed by an assessment of its plan and an exploration of its contemporary major urban challenges. It contrasts the planners’ original ideas with the built city, and unveils late modernist features that have been rejected and transformed. Essentially, Palmas is a modernist new capital city planned in postmodernist times. Keywords: New town. Regional planning. Urban design. Planning diffusion. Developing country. Resumo Palmas é a capital de um novo estado criado no interior do Brasil para fomentar o desenvolvimento regional. Esta nova cidade foi planejada em 1989, durante o processo de redemocratização do país, em meio à crítica ao urbanismo modernista e às crescentes preocupações ambientais. Contudo, seu traçado revela uma relação mista com o urbanismo de Brasília.

  • 90 Andreas Heuser (Ed.) in Nairobi, Accra, Lusaka, Johannesburg, Or
    90 Book Reviews Andreas Heuser (ed.) Pastures of Plenty: Tracing Religio-Scapes of Prosperity Gospel in Africa and Beyond, Frankfurt: Peter Lang 2015. 374 p., isbn 978-3-631-66182-6, price € 65.40. In Nairobi, Accra, Lusaka, Johannesburg, or Abuja, flip to any tv-channel and you will certainly encounter a local or one of Africa’s telegenic megastars of the Prosperity Gospel. They preach of miracles of financial abundance — no mat- ter what your life circumstances are, no matter how poor you are — God will change your life, if you have enough faith to proclaim or name the blessings as yours. This is its basic trope, but the Prosperity Gospel is complex and con- troversial, and yet its most visible form and the source of its attraction in Sub Sharan Africa. In its contemporary manifestations and ferment, Pentecostal theologies of prosperity has contributed in no small way in reshaping the ‘spir- itual cartography’ of the African religious landscape. While the literature on Pentecostalism and prosperity preaching continue to grow, much of the scholarship has focused on internal dynamics of the move- ment or its socio-economic and political influences in the life of ‘believers’.1 However unlike previous studies that mainly focused on inter-Pentecostal dynamics of the Prosperity Gospel this volume goes a step further to suggest and convincingly argue, particularly by Heuser that because Prosperity Gospel is mediated in the public sphere its concepts influence a wider African reli- gious landscape. The rhetoric of prosperity, which emanated as a Pentecostal discourse on well-being has thus transcended Christian discourse and influ- enced other actors in Africa’s diverse religious settings.

Questionnaire survey was used to acquire primary data which was complemented with secondary data. The respondents for the questionnaire survey comprised of the residents, government officials, and other stake holders in urban and housing development in the area. A total of 300 questionnaires were administered using stratified and random sampling techniques. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Findings revealed a strong correlation between urban growth and housing problems in the area. The study also identified housing problems such as overcrowding and congestion, poor accessibility, substandard and inadequate housing, as well as insufficient basic amenities and infrastructural facilities in the area. There is the need for government to plan for future urban expansion of Karu in order to avoid urban sprawl leading to more housing problems in the area. One approach to this is the development of satellite towns with good accessibility to the city centre. There is also the need for provision of basic amenities and infrastructural facilities and utilities that are lacking in the area.

Y. Amoako@ECA 16/04/200112:29 PM Sent by: K. Y. Amoako@ECA To: Marta Mauras/NY/UNO@UNHQ cc: Subject: The Abuja Summit Dear Marta, I wish to refer to your fax of 12 April informing me of the plans for the Secretary-General's trip to Abuja. I am very pleased to have been asked to be a member of the SG's delegation. However, for reasons that I will explain below, I will be unable to arrive in Abuja before the 25th of April. As you may know, following the ACC meeting in Nairobi, I travelled to Senegal, France, and The Netherlands for consultations on the Compact and the MAP. The discussions in Dakar and Paris pointed to a potential conflict between the MAP and the Omega Plan of President Wade. Some senior officials in the French Government are supporting the Omega Plan over the MAP. I am currently involved in consultations to ensure that we achieve convergence between the two Plans before the EGA Conference of Finance and Planning Ministers in Algiers early May. To this end, we are revising our Compact document to form the basis for a consensus. I am chairing a final meeting of some African experts and EGA staff on 23 April on the document. I plan to leave Addis for Abuja on the following day, but due to difficult flight connections, will arrive in Abuja on 25 April at 12:15 a.m.
