Created in 1905 in Chicago, the Rotary Club now has branches all over the world and is
recognized as an organization engaged in various humanitarian actions. Created in Brazil — in Rio and São Paulo — in the beginning of the 1920’s, the club played a major role until the II World War, not only as an associative organization interested in improving the commercial affairs of its members but also creating a global network of social action directly dealing with the built environment and the urban culture of the city. The Rotary Club in Brazil seen in a historical perspective, allows us to observe the transnational commutation of experiences in urban planning matters, focusing social actors, concepts, languages and plans, within global and local scales.
