Cahndigarh City & Housing
Chandigarh is one of the most significant urban planning experiments of the 20th century. It is the only one of the numerous urban planning schemes of Le Corbusier to have actually been executed. It is also the site of some of his greatest architectural creations. The city has had a far-reaching impact, ushering in a modern idiom of architecture and city planning all over India. It has become a symbol of planned urbanism. It is as famous for its landscaping as for its architectural ambience. Most of the buildings are in pure, cubical form, geometrically subdivided with emphasis on proportion, scale and detail. It was one of the early planned cities in post-independent India and is internationally known for its architecture and urban design. The master plan of the city was prepared by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, which transformed from earlier plans created by the Polish architect Maciej Nowicki and the American planner Albert Mayer. Most of the government buildings and housing in the city, were designed by the Chandigarh Capital Project Team headed by Le Corbusier, Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry

le Corbusier was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now regarded as modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, and he designed buildings in Europe, Japan, India, and North and South America.
Aimed for a beautiful city based on traditional garden city and neighboorhood unit concept.
Flat site, created street layout avoiding geometric grid in favour of a loosely curving system.
Fan shaped plan
Created super blocks that accommodated nearly 1500 families.
3 superblocks forms a district.
After the death of Nowicki the work was haulted and the contract was handed over to Le Corbusier.
The city centre is the heart of Chandigarh’s activities.
It comprises the ISBT, parade ground, district courts etc.. On one hand and the vast commercial and shopping centre on the other side.
There are huge parking areas for the commercial zones so that the parking problems don’t create a havoc on the main roads.
There were ample seating spaces and public amenities (toilets, dustbins, etc) provided at regular intervals

An entire zone has been designated as industrial area in the masterplan
Site for the industrial area was chosen according to the prevailing wind direction.
The wind blew away the smoke from the industries and it could never enter the city
Green belt provided along the industry area to maintain the air quality in the vicinity.
The leisure valley (8km) long is the green spaces extending North-East to South-West along a seasonal riverlet gradient and was conceived by Le Corbusier as the LUNGS OF THE CITY.
Apart from botanical gardens and parks these green belts also consist of fitness trails, amphitheatres and spaces for open air exhibitions.

4. “Chandigarh” – The city Beautiful
Chandigarh is one of the most significant urban planning
experiments of the 20th century. It is the only one of the numerous
urban planning schemes of Le Corbusier to have actually been
executed. It is also the site of some of his greatest architectural
creations. It was one of the early planned cities in post-
independent India and is internationally known for its architecture
and urban design.
It is as famous for its landscaping as for its architectural
ambience.
• The master plan of the city was prepared by Swiss-French
architect Le Corbusier, which transformed from earlier plans
created by the American planner Albert Mayer.
• Most of the government buildings and housing in the city,
were designed by the Chandigarh Capital Project Team
headed by Le Corbusier, Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry.
• The city is a union territory controlled by the Central
Government and is the capital of two Indian states Haryana
and Punjab.
5. Chandigarh was the dream city of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal
Nehru. After the partition of India in 1947, the former British province of
Punjab was split between (mostly Sikhs) East Punjab in India and (mostly
Muslim) West Punjab in Pakistan.The Indian Punjab required a new capital city
to replace Lahore, which had become part of Pakistan during the
partition. Therefore, an American planner and architect Albert Mayer was
tasked to design a new city called "Chandigarh" in 1949.
Mayer discontinued his work on Chandigarh after developing a master plan for
the city when his architect-partner Matthew Nowicki died in a plane crash in
1950. Government officials recruited Le Corbusier to succeed Mayer and
Nowicki, who enlisted many elements of Mayer's original plan without
attributing them to him.

6. Geography & Location
• Located near the foothills of the shivalik range of
the Himalayas.
• It is Sorrounded by Hariyana & Punjab.
• Haryana is in the east and Punjab is in the north,
west and south.
• It has direct road connections with Patiala,
Rajpura, Ludhiana and other towns.
• It has also rail connections with Delhi.
• The site covers 114 sqm area approximately.

Le Corbusier designed the city keeping three disciplines in
his mind. Those are –
9. Le Corbusier planned the city with –
Focusing on urban design , architectural aesthetics,
preservation of natural environment, conservation of buildings
and open spaces , hierarchical road network.
City planning was against the traditional indian cities.
Replaced the native indian town plan into superblocks.
Planned to human scale-
Head–capitol (place of power)
Heart –the city centre
Stomach–the commercial area
Arms–university and Industrial zone
Lungs–leisure valley ,open spaces
Arteries–network of roads
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
10. Facilities
Orderly arrangement of facilities which would be shared common by the residents.
A unit having
• Shops,
• School,
• Health centers
• Places of recreations and
• Places of worships.
All stoppage of circulation shall be prohibited at the four circuses, at the angles of the
Sectors.
The bus stops are provided each time at 200 meters from the circus so as to serve the four
pedestrian entrances into a sector.
Thus, the transit traffic takes place out of the sectors: the sectors being surrounded by four
wall-bound car roads without openings (the V3s). And this (a novelty in town-planning and
decisive) was applied at Chandigarh: no house (or building) door opens on the thoroughfare
of rapid traffic.
The city has several sectors. Consisting all the facilities and housing unit.
11. Sectors
Replaced superblocks with a geometric matrix of generic neighborhood units,
“Sectors”.
The basic planning of the city is the sector to accommodate 3,000 to 25,000 persons.
30 sectors in Chandigarh, 24 are residential.
The sectors surrounded by high speed roads.
Bus stops every 400m.
The main principle of the sector is that never a door will open on the surrounding of
fast vehicular road.
The size of the sector is based on the concept of no pedestrian need to walk for more
than 10min.
The neighbourhood itself is surrounded by the fast-traffic road called V3 intersecting
at the junctions of the neighbourhood unit called sector with a dimension of 800
meters by 1200 meters.
12. HOUSING OF CHANDIGARH
Initially, two main categories of housing were
planned in the city - public and private
The residential buildings were governed by a
mechanism known as 'frame control' created by the
municipal administration to control their facades.
This fixed the building line and height and the use of
building materials.
Certain standard sizes of doors and windows are
specified and all the gates and boundary walls must
conform to standard design.
The idea was to ensure that the view from the
street, which belonged to the community, was of
same visual order and discipline to maintain
uniformity.
The basic typology is extremely rectilinear with
similar proportions.
Residential units are arranged around central
common green spaces with different shapes.

residential unit
13. Government Housing
• Government housing in the city was initially divided
into 13 categories ranging from house for the Chief
Minister to the lowest paid class-IV employee.
• In addition hostels and flats for members of the
Legislature were also planned.
• Most government houses in Phase I were single or
double storeyed. Housing in Phase II has much
higher density and a large part of it
• consisting of four storeyed flats.
• In addition, 800 ‘cheap houses’ were built for poorer
non-government workers - the tonga driver,
laundrymen, sweepers, and cobblers and later sold
to them at nominal prices.
• Most government houses in the first phase were
designed by the expatriate team of architects –
Pierre Jeanneret, Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew
assisted by a team of young Indian architects.
• A lot of attention was given to making their design
suitable for local climate within severe economic
constraints while using local building materials.

16. Road Network
Le Corbusier made convenient walking distance for social
services like schools, and shopping centers.
The major roads do not pass through residential
neighbourhood.
Internal road pattern encourage quite, safe, low vlume traffic
movement.
An integrated system of seven road types.
Pathways for cyclists
Roads intersected at right angles forming a grid.
Hierarchy of movement.
Residential areas segregated from the traffic.
V-1--Fast roads connecting Chandigarh to other towns
V-2--arterial roads
V-3 --Fast vehicular roads
V-4 --Meandering shopping streets
V-5 --Sector circulation roads
V-6 --Access roads to houses
V-7 --footpaths and cycle tracks
17. DEVELOPMENT PHASES OF CHANDIGARH
The city of Chandigarh
was developed in 3
phases :
Sectors 1 to 30 have
been developed in Phase-
I , it was completely
developed in 1975.
Sector 31to 47 have been
developed in Phase II ,
for accommodating
population of 5 lakhs in
combined.
Sectors from 48 to 56 in
Phase III has been taken
up
18. POSITIVE HIGHLIGHTS :
O Each sector satisfies the necessities of human needs
O Separate roads for pedestrian, bicycle and heavy vehicles
O Shops on ground floor, Residence on upper floor
O Shop protected from rain and sun, as a covered walkway for
the customers.
NEGATIVE HIGHLIGHTS :
O Roads being similar to each other creates confusion.
O City not planned for lower income people.
O Existence of slums around the city.
