The article approches the thinking and the practices of urbanism and urban planning in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, during the period between 1950 and 1970, alongside the repercussions of the military coup d’etat in 1964, and what was proposed for the cities, as well as for technicians’performances. We emphasize here how these procedures were radiated inland, through what was done in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais’modern Capital, that, in this period, had its urban problems multiplied. The appeal to professionals linked to the disciplinary fields of architecture and engineering was recurrent, in part by the governments, with the progressive planning actions institutionalization. In 1950, the establishment of the course of Urbanism, in the School of Architecture, developed possibilities for a better specialization in this thematic related to the urbanism and urban planning. Still attached to the course’s establishment, we had the production of papers and the diffusion of ideas related to urbanism and urban planning, which allowed a greater theoretical background for technicians. The professional trajectory of those technicians reveals an intense activity, with have established links at academia and with the pubblic administration, besides the professional performance in the private sphere, through engineering and architecture offices. As an inflection point, in the middle of this period, 1964’s military coup d’état, which consolidated the restriction of democracy, already underway in the country, since the beginning of the 1960s, had directly interfered with professional and academic activities. Also in 1964, the publication of the CIAM’s Charter of Athens, by the students in the School of Architecture, in this conjuncture of repression, imposed to some professionals such as engineers and architects, with a socialist vision, as well as other intellectuals, considered subversives by the military dictatorship.
