THE FIRST WAVE INDUSTRIALIZATION AND URBANIZATION While Minas Gerais has been steadily following a path of industrialization and urbanization throughout the 20th century, the most important period of modern growth and transformation began in the 1940s and 1950s, during the time that one of our greatest political leaders, Juscelino Kubitschek, served first as Mayor of Belo Horizonte, then as Governor of Minas Gerais, and finally as President of Brazil. Though the former JK is best known internationally for spearheading the efforts to build Brasilia,"mineiros" remember him for his leadership in accelerating industrial and urban development in Minas Gerais. Key strategic actions included creating a major energy company, CEMIG, to generate and distribute high volume, low-cost, hydropower-based electricity, and establishing the Development Bank of Minas Gerais, to provide capital for attracting and expanding manufacturing industries.
