Abstract

In the 20th century, several capital cities were designed and built based on new planning principles, with landscape being an important means for this new urban configuration. Modernist Urbanism, directly related to artistic and architectural avant-gardes, prioritized solutions to urban problems through skyscrapers, green spaces, and integrated infrastructure with transportation systems at the center of the debate. However, many criticisms pointed out the lack of consideration for social, environmental, and cultural aspects, resulting in a separation between urban planning and urban design. Capitals such as Canberra, Australia (1912); Ankara, Turkey (1923); Chandigarh, India (1947); Brasília, Brazil (1957); Islamabad, Pakistan (1959); and Abuja, Nigeria (1974), exemplify this paradigm, showing their distribution across the globe and pointing to the need for more comparative studies. Reflections from the TOPOS International Seminar – Landscapes of Power, in 2022, led to the creation of a thematic section in Revista Paranoá, exploring topics such as urbanism, architecture, ecology, and social engagement, envisioning new perspectives for contemporary urbanism and equity in urban planning.
