Le Corbusier’s Chandigarh
Le Corbusier said of the city, “Chandigarh is planned to human scale. It puts us in touch with the infinite cosmos and nature. It provides us with places and buildings for all human activities by which the citizens can live a full and harmonious life. Here the radiance of nature and heart are within our reach.” In the middle of the last century, Le Corbusier’s lofty plans for urban design were (nearly) realized in Chandigarh, India [map, wiki, flickr, official].
