India's Planned Capital City (Designed by Le Corbusier) Resources This video is a synthesis of these articles: 1. Perera, N. (2004. Contesting visions: Hybridity, liminality and authorship of the Chandigarh plan. Planning Perspectives, 19(2, 175199. 2. Chalana, M, & Sprague, T. S. (2013. Beyond Le Corbusier and the modernist city: Reframing Chandigarhs World Heritage legacy. Planning Perspectives, 28(2, 199222. 3. Fitting, P. (2002. Urban planning/utopian dreaming: Le Corbusier's Chandigarh today. Utopian Studies, 13(1, 69-93. Produced by Dave Amos in sunny Sacramento, California. Edited by Eric Schneider in cloudy Cleveland, Ohio. Mol: As someone who lived in various cities across India, Chandigarh is my least favorite city. Yes, its cleaner and easier to access, but it lacks any character. The average citizen looks at these buildings as nothing more than concrete monstrosities. Instead of reviving vernacular architecture, the then powers felt a modernist approach is better, and now its sadly replicated across the country. Thank you for making the video.

You should do a video on the history of city planning/architecture in Detroit. There is so much history there. For instance, did you know the entire city was supposed to be made of hexagonal shapes? You can see the beginning of this in how Downtowns roads are laid even today. Look up detroitplanninghistory 1700-1900 for more info

Trust me, I live 30km from Chandigarh. Though it may look good from a plane, it is extremely inefficient and takes more time to travel than cities with much worse traffic. And it is also characterless conctrete jungle with some parks in itAlso, it is pun-jab not poon-jab. How hard is it

I dont know if its a good thing that Corbusier wasnt born to for example Soviet Russia. They were really willing to tear everything down and start a new in a better modern way. Would be those concrete blocks better or worse? More grandious and even less fit for everyday living?

04: 57 nice choice of background video. Le Mans, France, which bulldozed part of its city centre to create a throughfare in the 1970s (though not really geometrically) and now quite a livable city with a pedestrianised centre

The reconstruction of Pyongyang is impressive too, my grandpa rebuilt it from a destroyed war zone to a prosperous capital. The US pretty much destroyed the city and he was able to fix it

I'm not sure theres another planner/architect I hate more than Le Corbusier. This is a man who wanted to tear down Paris to rebuild it looking like ghetto projects.

I find Corbusiers vision of cities and architecture sooooo horrible i could cry. Thank god he didnt turn beauties like Paris into cubic concrete hells
