Corbusier?s Creation

If someone says, One man can build almost an entire city, you would laugh. But visit Chandigarh and you would realize that it is actually not impossible. The face of modern India, Chandigarh, is the manifestation of a dream that Nehru envisaged and Le Corbusier executed. India's first ?planned city, is in sharp contrast to its other Indian counterparts, a rich, prosperous, spic and span, green city. If you are under the impression that a visit to India is all about being pick-pocketed and pestered by mosquitoes and beggars, Chandigarh will definitely belie such expectations. With the Shivalik hill range giving the city a picturesque backdrop, Chandigarh is typically beautiful too.

This is a city that doesn't contradict itself, with rich skyscrapers surrounded by poor slums. This is a city, which rather flaunts its well-being. Join in and celebrate.
