Alfred Agache (architect)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Donat-Alfred Agache, sometimes called Alfredo Agache, formally planned the Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Porto Alegre and Curitiba in the 1940s and 1950s, supported by the Estado Novo fascist regime in Brazil. Although his plans were often too expensive to be completed, they formed the basis of more practical plans, and the affordable parts of his plan were followed for several decades. Curitiba in particular is now regarded as one of the best-planned cities in the world. Agache also co-founded the French Society for Urban Studies.
