This is the first city in India that was built as a sector.
Yes, this is where the sector started.
Before this, no city had a sector.
The sector had a green belt.
Wherever you stood, you were in the green belt, you were directly in the Shivali range.
He wanted a sector, you know, city within a city, meeting all basic requirements,
you know, close to nature and protected from all fast moving traffic.
No city is addicted to the world.
This city is addicted.
When Karbooz-E-Azhar was written, we made the city.
The city was made.
And this city is the city that in 50 years,
10 lakh population, our planned population,
6 lakh, 5 lakh, it never happened in history.
Karbooz-E-Azhar said that if this city will run,
then it will never become a metropolitan city.
This is the first city of Chandigarh.
The hierarchy of the road was the rule of seven ways.
I have read somewhere that 10 crores were given for this city.
Total?
Yes, total.
So they did it in phases.
But unfortunately, we have gone to stage 2 till now.
And this is the problem.
You know what was the formula of this city?
What did Karbhuja say?
This city will provide basic amenities of life to the poorest of the poor citizens to lead a dignified life.
If you don't have money, you have to build houses. But he assured me that he will give me one of the best quality of architecture.
The first multi-tower building in India was built in Chandigarh.
This was the capital of Punjab and Haryana was also a part of Punjab.
And all the areas of Himachal, like Kangra and other areas were under Punjab.
Everyone was saying that create another Lahore.
Chandigarh should be a duplicate of Lahore.
So, there was a fight between the two.
So, ultimately, the decision was made that neither you nor we will get it.
So, it was a union territory.
It is a curse and a kind of a boon.
Because Pandit Nehru was very much attached to this city.
They will take all actions.
Why can't the example be replicated?
Rather than killing this thing.
You know, you are killing this city.
This is Chandigarh podcast part 2.
