Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, or more popularly known as Le Corbusier created the master plan for City Beautiful. He is also known as the pioneer of modern architecture. So it only makes sense that the city he helped create, pays a tribute to him.

With the opening of the Le Corbusier Centre, this is exactly what the Administration aims for. The most interesting part is that the Centre is set up in Sector-19. The Sector-19 office is the place Corbusier used while preparing the City’s master plan.

Le Corbusier Centre is a haven for tourists and architecture students, especially. The place depicts all the works of Le Corbusier. It also dwells on various aspects of his life which are not known to the public. It is a great place if you want to know about the cultural heritage of Chandigarh.

What is interesting is note that ever since it has been opened, it is being visited by lots of researchers, scholars, historians etc. It is because of the fact that all the information available here is authentic. The Centre is also recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

The office designed is also in consonance with the cost effective and climate friendly designs that are the focus of every building in Chandigarh. One on visiting the place can see a lot of experimental and innovative designs in the building. According to various experts, this will help the visitors get an insight into the genius. The building also introduces the concept of sustainability and green environment.

Thus, it is easy to see that Le Corbusier was way ahead of his time. No doubt, this place does full justice to him. It is certainly, a must visit for every city resident, tourist and student of architecture. This tribute to him is a great way to thank him for his contribution to our city.

Chandigarh is our very own City Beautiful. They say once you have lived in Chandigarh, you can’t live elsewhere. That is definitely true. There are millions of reasons to love this City. However, the following five reasons make our City stand apart altogether.

1. Chandigarh is clean

No other city in the country is as clean as Chandigarh. The roads are immaculate and so tidy. And don’t forget the look the city dons after a spell of rain. Everything is crystal clear as if someone has cleaned your dust rimmed glasses. Everything bears a beautiful look created by the Almighty himself.

Cleaned Chandigarh

2. Carefully planned

Chandigarh is the first planned city of the country. The dream project of Late Prime Minister Nehru, it has a charm of its own. Certainly, it is a joy to be here. Every sector and road are so carefully planned that you can never get lost in this city. Why? Because every road is parallel to the adjacent road. So even if you are directionally challenged, this city is always on your side.

3. Negligible pollution and traffic

THIS is perhaps the best part about living in Chandigarh. It does not have a lot of traffic and hence, pollution. Compare it with a city like Delhi and it is almost equivalent to living abroad. We are perhaps the healthiest in the country when it comes to our respiratory systems. All this while our transportation system isn’t very effective. Come to the metro project, our roads will be as empty as an F1 racing track!

4. World class education

Chandigarh has some of the best educational institutions in the country. Right from primary schools to a world class University, everything is here. And there are options aplenty! There are schools for CBSE, ICSE, state boards and even international curriculum like IB now! Then there is Panjab University- the premier University of the country. Need I say more?

5. Food!

Every foodie’s delight, Chandigarh is a haven for food. From international food chains to world class dhabas, there is something to tingle your every taste bud. Perhaps this is because of the amalgamation of various cultures here. The proximity to the states of Panjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh and various migrants from different parts of the country, there is something for everyone.

Smart City. Chandigarh received the stature of ‘smart city’ in 2016. However, it has not been untroubled as it was on a second consideration that the city was included in the list of the smart cities of India. When the first list of the ‘Smart Cities of India’ was released, Chandigarh was found nowhere on it which came as a heavy blow for its citizens.

Cashless Chandigarh. The Chandigarh administration is vying to make the City Beautiful the first cashless city of the nation, in the backdrop of the demonetisation policy of the Modi-led government. The efforts are in full swing and it is expected that Chandigarh will soon achieve the status of being a cashless city of the country.
