That's Brasília. With an S and an accent on the i that follows.
Niemeyer is not responsible for the urban planning of Brasília, someone else did. His role was to design some of its most prominent individual elements and ensure a visual language throughout the whole project.
The crazy urban planning was the work of Lúcio Costa (thanks Wikipedia): why not using a quote by him, instead?
Pitting urbanists against architects is just as futile as pitting Android fanboys against iOS fanboys.
