Reminded me of Plan Voisin: http://www.businessinsider.com/le-corbusiers-plan-voisin-for-paris-2013-7 http://www.businessinsider.com/le-corbusiers-plan-voisin-for...
Facism appealed to Le Corbusier and some other modernists (Mies van der Rohe), partially because they hoped it would lead to top-down huge projects like the Plan, or Brasilia (https://bombmagazine.org/articles/a-day-in-brasilia/ https://bombmagazine.org/articles/a-day-in-brasilia/)
