Is Brasilia well designed? Nice buildings and layout (all I know about it is reading here and there). But as the article points out, its working class live in shanties ringing the city. Perhaps that&#x27;s the norm in Brasil, I don&#x27;t know. Perhaps that was even expected by the designers. But I think there are problems when workers can&#x27;t live in the city they work in, either because there is no affordable housing where they work or no work where they live.
