“If I could plan Brasilia all over again,… there’d be extra apartment buildings and schools and shops. And I’d do without all the wide streets with all the cars. People would be able to walk everywhere.”- in Architectural Record

It's ok Oscar. Saying your sorry makes up for bad planning.
No one could have foresaw the problems with planning a city around automobile ownership, especially in a nation where most people don't own cars.
Sorry...I'm not happy its monday...
I'd like to thank Mr. Niemeyer. Burnham's classic call to "make no little plans" includes the easily disregarded yet wildly important call to "make no little mistakes". For it is in these mistakes we learn the most.
Happy Birthday Oscar.
