Resumo:This paper explores the outcomes of the Americanization of mid-twentieth century Brazilian society in the planning field. Focusing on the layout of new towns built in the pioneering agricultural hinterlands it examines which American ideas contributed to the construction of new urban forms in Brazil. By analysing the layout and sociocultural context of Goiânia – GO (1936), Angélica – MS (1954), and Medicilândia and Rurópolis – PA (1972), this paper states that the American neighbourhood unit helped to materialize the local aspiration for modernization and development, thus depicted by the American way of life. The configuration of the neighbourhood unit in the layout of those new towns unveils appropriation and adaptation of the American planning idea; and reveals that the Americanization process overlapped the consolidation of the rationalist/functionalist urbanism hegemony, and was mistaken for it.
