@@CityBeautiful Often, when you get a comment like this, it's because part of the/a border is disputed, and you used a map that either predates the dispute, or that shows it as if it had been resolved one way or the other. When that is the case, the complaint is, pretty much without fail, from someone living in the country on the side of the dispute the map does not favour. Not helped by google maps delivering each side of the dispute a map which corresponds to what their government says the map Should be, and everyone else a map either indicating that the area is disputed, a border based on something like the current points at which border guards will stop you when you try to cross, the pre-dispute border, or something else entirely (and being unreliable about which they use). Given that this individual didn't say what was wrong with the map, and the phrasing, I'd assume​ the above to be the case, then ignore it and move on, as swapping the map (or anything of that nature) will just get the same complaint from the other side.

I would like to correct you over Pakistan and India Split. It wasn't because Hindus and Muslims Wanted separate country. It was muslims Who wanted a separate country hence Pakistan was created. The rest of the people like sikhs, Hindus, Christians,etc had to live in India altogether. The Constitution of India isn't based of Faith but in Pakistan Islamic rules apply.

I visited Chandigarh for the first time just last month in Feb 2020. Cgarh is not the only planned city (there is Navi Mumbai, New Delhi, etc.) but it is the best one. A very good blend of spacious and coziness. A great change coming from the rest of crowded cities feeling of India. PS: I get the critisism, but lots of places with tons of 'character' (looking at you Chandini Chowk) gets overwhelming after 2 days.

A lot of brutalism’s features work really well in hot, sunny climes. I grew up surrounded by it, and concrete overhangs provide great shade, while decorative breezeways provide ventilation… and seeing the architecture always makes me feel all happy and nostalgic. You also have to understand the era: the ‘60s and ‘70s felt like the gateway into the future, with humanity reinventing itself… and relative to that, everything from the ‘80s on has seemed like a snap back into a grim, dull past. So brutalism’s futuristic elements felt (and feels!) optimistic and grand to me, full of hope. On the practical side, the ‘50s and ‘60s were a period of rapid urbanization, and brutalism’s style (with concrete as the era’s most advanced, versatile construction material) could accommodate rapid growth - it was about a statement, but it was also practical. (The same could be said about Mies van der Rohe’s style: it makes a statement, but it’s also useful for quick, massive, cheap construction. And like brutalism, its impact and statement are later diminished by the proliferation of poorly-designed ugly cookie-cutter knockoffs: compare some Mies buildings in downtown Chicago to the ugly imitative boxes that later sprang up around the South Loop.) Anyhow. I’m a big fan of brutalism. Of course, as people learned more about urban planning, it became apparent that variety is important, so the earlier idea of planned cities - drawing a sharp line between residential areas and commercial area - had to be rethought into more vibrant mixed-use communities, and too much of any one style is, of course, too much. But I quite like brutalism in general, and Le Corbusier in particular.

As a Chandigarh native, thank you for making this video. I was wondering when my favourite channel would talk about my favourite city. Most of the negative comments are probably from salty fellow Indians who live in comparative waste dumps like Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore. (Don't lynch me I'm just kidding) More seriously though, I'll add my 2 rupees here: I was born and raised in the City and spent the first 22 summers there, before moving out. Chandigarh fails to impress if you just visit the place as a tourist. What makes the city great is the livability. While other Indian cities are bursting at the seams, Chandigarh has still managed to retain some of its sleepy, laid-back character despite the rapid growth and expansion. The fields of Punjab and the mighty Himalayas are also an hour's drive away. ( This is what I personally miss the most). The biggest downside, I'll admit, is the over-reliance on cars. The people here are solidly upper-middle class and there's the Punjabi love for big cars and SUV's to boot. However, the govt. has created cycling tracks throughout the city, the place is already very pedestrian friendly and the Govt. is mulling on a rapid transport system (Metrorail, BRTS or monorail, we'll see).

I think people are too quick to get riled up about "ugly" things. Plenty of things in our world are ugly but they work and that's what matter. In Denmark we have the IC3 diesel train which is definitely one of the ugliest trains ever built but fuck that because it works like hell, it's been in service for 30 years now and has been a reliable workhorse of the Danish railways and it's remained modern and comfortable to ride in the whole time, I mean they got free wi-fi before some high speed rail got it. Meanwhile the IC4 which is more traditionally "pretty" is a fucking shitshow, it was ordered to replace the IC3s but it's been unreliable, some of them didn't even have brakes and one ended up in fucking Libya somehow, they've now been downgraded to serve only on a few regional lines meanwhile the IC3s continue to work reliably and comfortably. If the only bad thing you can say about something is that it's "ugly" then that's probably a pretty good indication that, that's the only issue with it and otherwise it works perfectly fine. Focusing on beauty over functionality is irresponsible and lazy and only leads to building 500 carbon copies of the same things because they're "pretty" you're just gonna have to accept that not everything can look like whatever specific piece of architecture you foam over.

Just pointing out a common mistake about Brasilia: although Niemeyer took the credit for planning the new Brasil's capital, it was another architect who did it. Lucio Costa was the one who won the contest to plan the new Capital's urbanism (it is a really interesting story actually, worthy the research). Niemeyer, who worked for Costa for a long time as interne, was responsible only for the buildings, the architecture itself.

As a resident of Chandigarh, when this video came up in my recommendation, I was confused for a moment. You see, Chandigarh is also called "The City Beautiful". (Also visible on the signboard at 0:53) I at first thought this channel named "City Beautiful" was affiliated to Chandigarh City Authority. XD Great video. You earned a sub. Chandigarh is like planned heaven in the midst of a poorly planned Punjab and Haryana. But thanks to the Tricity area (Chandigarh-Mohali-Panchkula) and the lessons learned from them, the rest of the cities are fast evolving into planned cities. The Tricity area has everything, from posh malls to serene lush gardens to man-made and natural lakes. As another comment has pointed out, the only drawback is the public transport system. Although the CTU (Chandigarh Transport Union) buses are quite abundant and usually punctual, yet most households have at least 2 or more vehicles. Uber and Ola (Indian Uber) have made things somewhat different though.

I am born and brought up in Chandigarh and interestingly I'm also familiar with Le Corbusier's other works. Honestly if you ask me , Chandigarh would easily be his greatest creation and infact the only successful one. It's well planned , atleast 80% greener than your average Indian cities and has one of the most civilized and educated native population. The public transport is efficient and timely , the police is disciplined and enforces the rules stringently and despite having no metro or rapid transit system , their is not even any need of having one. Chandigarh is nicknamed "City Beautiful" and their is a strong reason why it's said so. I have lived all over India in last 12 years and trust me , Chandigarh is the cleanest and best cities I have ever seen. If you're an Indian and haven't been here , you must visit atleast once before becoming a keyboard warrior and justifying how your so called "old city" has more life. If you're not from India , visit all Indian cities before and then visit Chandigarh to see the difference yourselves.

I don't usually comment on videos, but i had to say this: I understand that most people don't like concrete blocks, but there is no need to put all the blame and hate on Corbu. Concrete was fairly new and revolutionary, and Corbu's designs were futuristic for it's time. It's just over the years other people have taken concrete and ran wild with it without taking the considerations and care that Corbu put into his designs. It might seem old fashioned and unsuitable now, but that's design. Times change and cities grow to be different with the changing design trends. No need to hate on a guy who was designing according to the trends of the day. Who knows, maybe a few decades down the road we might hate glass high-rise towers as much as we hate concrete blocks now (which it seems to be happening now) I think only people who studied architecture would appreciate Corbu's pdesigns. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people in architecture don't like bare concrete blocks as well, but most architects would appreciate the design of it. I would know, cause i am studying to be an architect ;>

Design isn't about how beautiful your vision is, but about how practical and useful your solution is. Design is a process, and the main issue with concretisation is that there is very little possibility for extension or advancement. Although Chandigarh is one of the best cities in north India due to its newly settled and planned urban agglomeration, car dependency and wide roads make the city less walkable and unsafe for cyclists. However, it is still better than many other cities because it has basic infrastructures such as footpaths. However, navigating the indistinguishable sectors of Chandigarh is a nightmare for those who are directionally challenged. And the brutalist architecture lacks any sense of Identity and culture.

Since my dad worked in a public sector bank and since there is a huge turnover of public sector workforce like him in the city (since it serves as capital to two states and has the relevant Central Government offices like bank headquarters and the High Court), we lived in three different sectors as our leases in this much in demand city for housing ran out. The numbering of the sectors also designates how subsequent iterations of the same idea manifested differently over the years as the city filled up. The first 24 or so sectors are the original ones with the administrative buildings, largest parks, the biggest shopping district and the bus stand. We lived in Sector 37 for the first year. It had four sub blocks; A,B,C and D. C had the block market and A, B and D were mostly residential. There was a central circular ring road to link all four blocks on four ends of the grid block sectors which connected inner traffic to the outer sectors. Next was Sector 38 next door. The sizes of the units go down from A to D though it won't seem as distinct as it sounds. We had a bigger house then. Lastly we lived in 44D where the smaller housing units were where the bank my dad worked for had made its own captive housing apartments. These had their own size difference in terms of housing for executives and middle managers, but tastefully done in that the whole complex was integral to the community and right next to the market. Generally the parks got smaller as the sectors rose in number because later in its building and closer to us in time, more and more people were required to make the city the capital it is for two provinces. The roundabouts now have traffic signals though since it has the highest car ownership level in India. It has two sub cities built by the two provinces:Mohali and Panchkula which they made when they realised that neither was gonna get the Union Territory. Most of the newer expansion of State administrative machinery has happened there. Those cities also have more traditional housing blocks of Indian cities. The interesting thing about all three of them is that wherever there was a village in the way of the expansion of the city, the city grid swallowed them but didn't change or break them down. And funnily, the city's vertical limit on buildings doesn't apply to them, so suddenly in the middle of the prim, green, grid, you have an urban village that resembles the closely clustered streets that you associate with the denser parts of Delhi or Mumbai. It was fun. Going on a date or grabbing a beer with the guys was just a walk away, though we raced around on cycles because most of the city was within pedalling distance. The population was mostly government functionaries and political/business elite who could buy the more expensive and larger plots back then. I loved living there. But back then, as now, we probably couldn't afford a house there because of the restrictions on unit size or urban sprawl that makes it unique (I currently live in Delhi, in a sub-city next to the airport, which is larger than most European or American cities with more than one million people in it already😓)... So, distinctive experience...it was fun while it lasted...(sigh!!!)....

When I was in college 45 years ago I took a course which included studies of Chandigarh and Villla Kennedy, a planned district for Bogota. The instructor pointed out the adaptability of the Villa Kennedy project, where American style separation of functions was replaced as buildings were repurposed and added onto to make them work for the way of life of the residents. By contrast he showed us Chandigarh, where monumental spaces created dead zones around the government buildings. He also pointed out that the original commercial streets were too wide and the residents used the alleyways behind the commercial buildings as the market place, recreating a familiar and comfortable atmosphere. This was in Houston, which is on about the same latitude as Chandigarh. We all understood right away how those plazas and wide open boulevards would be sun-blasted and unbearable in daytime for half the year. But it's nice to learn that not all of Chandigarh turned out that way.

I've been there enroute Delhi to Shimla. The "city" doesn't feel like a city at all. It's feels a giant overgrown village pretending to be an urban space. We had a scheduled stop at the Chandigarh bus depot which is in the middle of the city. The bus took a left from the highway, then a right a few metres later onto another highway. These were wide highways with large dividers (with trees), then even larger dividers on either side of the highway, with service roads on either side of that, and then more tree space further out. There were some empty plots, some bungalows and other buildings. It felt like I was on the outskirts of some city but nowhere close to being in an actual city. A few turns later we reached the bus stop. Google Maps showed that I was inside Chandigarh for the last few minutes. The scenery never changed. I usually criticise Navi Mumbai for being a boring planned city but it is so much better than whatever Chandigarh is. Ugly, dead, lifeless and wasteful. It's no surprise that the best place in the city is the rock garden, the one place that was (and illegally) created with love, and not planned by some megalomaniac. Thank fuck they didn't demolish it.

As much as I love Chandigarh, with the expansion of the area into a tricity which includes the urban areas of Mohali and Pachkula, you could argue that its 20th century planning is getting overweighed by the sheer growing population of the tricity. Over the 6 of years I have lived in this city, I have seen some new set of challenges in terms of traffic on the roads. its still a lot better than most other capital cities in india, its gradually taking turn for the worse and since we dont have a flyover system in the city, things could get more challenging in the future.

I know everyone hates Le Corbusier, but as arrogant and self absorbed as he was, he still took the time to include the original idea in his final draft. Gotta respect that. That being said, Chandigarh is no doubt the best city to live in India. Le Corbusier proved that his philosophy of planning makes for an actual living space and not just some distopian metropoli (Brasilia, on the other hand)... It's interesting how this fits into a hegelian way of progress: You have two oposing ideas that merge into a mix of the two to make something better than both on their own.

Commercial Spaces fall in between Industrial and Residential spaces so most shops are at a walking distance. To travel roughly 3 miles, I had to pay 5 rupees~4 cents

I have visited Chandigarh and found it to be refreshingly orderly, far less chaotic than other Indian cities. Wide avenues with refined modern architecture giving a unified theme, quite unlike other cities. Le Corbusier"s Courthouse design is amazing and I found the city easy to get around. Also the city has the fantastic Rock Garden, a true wonder of the world. I could live here.....

The city is super inefficient and feels lifeless and bland, which is something you don't oft hear about indian cities

comparing to other cities chandigarh is way too modern...so modern that that it really doesnt have have that indian touch..hustle bustle...we in india are tuned to rush,breaking rules etc ,desert street quiet colonies implies curfew,that something is wrong...chandigarh is one of the very good designed city...my problem with it was it was way too planned only difference between chandigarh and noida or later planned cities is ,you will find crowd and that indian taste in them later cities,while chandigarh doesnt have indian vibes,more like i am in scotland

Just like Brasilia, everything is far, miles away from people, IMPOSSIBLE TO WALK, you cam move only by car or bus, even a metro system is expensive to build because there is no point to build stations that will have people enough to takes the metro operative.

Could you do a video on Indonesia's planned capital city? It's still in the very early stages right now, but there should be enough information available in 1-2 years to do a video on it.
