1. Story
2. Brazil's capital, inaugurated on 21 April 1960, laid out by Lúcio Costa with buildings by Oscar Niemeyer, and the twentieth century's most complete test of designing a city whole. The Plano Piloto was dimensioned for a population in the hundreds of thousands; the Federal District now holds several million, and the great majority of them live outside the plan in satellite towns — several of which, including Ceilândia, began as relocations of the construction workers and squatter settlements the plan had no place for. The result is a planned core with high incomes and a serviced environment, ringed by unplanned or belatedly planned periphery, with commuting burdens falling on the outer population: retrieved analyses report the poorest decile commuting substantially longer than the richest, and household incomes in the Plano Piloto many times those in Ceilândia. Brasília did not fail to become a city. It failed to be the city that was drawn, and the difference went to the periphery.

15. Evidence
16. Supports the statement that most of the Federal District's population lives outside the Plano Piloto in satellite towns, that household incomes in the Plano Piloto are many times those in Ceilândia, and that commuting burdens fall disproportionately on the poorest decile. V55 verification basis: retrieved from paper abstracts and summaries; neither paper was opened, and no single income ratio is asserted as exact.
