Fordlândia
Fordlândia was a special place where a very famous businessman named Henry Ford decided to build a city-like village in Brazil where they could grow rubber trees. Rubber is a very important natural material that is used to make tires for cars, and Henry Ford's car company needed a lot of rubber.
So, he made a plan to build a special city village in the middle of the jungle so that he could grow rubber trees there. They built many houses, a hospital, a school, and even a cinema so that the people who worked there could have everything they needed.
Unfortunately, growing rubber trees was harder than they thought, and the rubber trees did not grow very well in the jungle. There were also many sicknesses that spread through the village, and they had trouble getting enough food and supplies.
Eventually, Ford had to leave Fordlândia because it was too hard to keep up. Today, it still exists as a reminder of the past but is no longer a functioning village or a source of rubber.
