Dude Chandigarh looks way too much like Islamabad

Because both are planned city, one of the dream city of Pt. Nehru & another one of Ayub Khan.

4. Dream City
Chandigarh was the dream city of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawahar Lal Nehru.


5. City Is Human
Le Corbusier conceptualized Chandigarh as analogous to human body. The ‘Head’ being Capitol Complex in Sector 1, ‘Heart being City Centre Sector-17, ‘Lungs’ being the open sapce and greenery, ‘Circulatory System’ being the 7V’s and ‘Brain’ being the Educational Institutions.


6. Location

7. Sector 17
The Central Plaza in Sector 17 is called Pedestrian’s Paradise intended to avoid any traffic and is a hot destination for people on weekends as it houses restaurants, pubs, discos, clothing stores etc.


8. The Sectors
Chandigarh is divided into sectors, with each sector enclosed by roads for easy transport yet sealed from direct access to the residential areas.

Both the cities are very beautiful. Chandigadh is a well planned city where the Islamabad is very green. I would like to visit both the cities.
