Chronicles of Chandigarh
Chandigarh was India's first planned post-independence city, designed by the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier in the 1950s. Its grid layout, concrete edifices and open spaces reflect a modernist utopian vision, with the Capitol Complex designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city serves as the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana, giving it a bureaucratic core mixed with Punjabi vibrancy. Today, it's known for its high quality of life, rock garden and clean, orderly streets.
