What is Chandigarh: A Planned City Overview about?

The document provides a summary of the history and planning of Chandigarh, India. It was established to be the capital of Punjab after partition and was planned by Le Corbusier as a modernist city. Key aspects included dividing the city into sectors for efficient land use and services, with strict zoning for different functions. A modular grid road network was designed to separate vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. Open spaces and a "leisure valley" were incorporated for recreation.
