This place is in Sector 19B and can be seen from the main road but very few people know about it. Our hired car driver, a local didn't know and I had to guide him although it was my first visit to Chandigarh :)

We were in love with Chandigarh and compared to the rest of the developed nations when we falter in all infrastructure, first time I felt proud that this city was made by visionaries and I was witnessing that vision.

This is the place where the famous architect worked in the very same building along with other makers of Chandigarh. He was definitely ahead of time and its interesting to see that phase I was created to fit 150,000 people who migrated from Pakistan (earlier Punjab region) and then the expansion was done keeping in mind 500,000 people. The infrastructure envisaged 60 years back is still working with a much much larger population. In addition both Haryana & Punjab governments have shamelessly claimed on same infrastructure by adding satellite towns of Panchkula & Mohali which are senseless when you understand the Chandigarh development plan.

Those who like or would like Chandigarh as a city and interested to know more about the famous Le Corbusier must visit this centre. The 7 Vs which defines how a city traffic should be was definitely ahead of time when it was thought. I was personally inspired by Mr. Corbusier's vision, thinking and working against odds (which comes out from some of his correspondence).
