Review "The appeal of the book is the way it records--very diligently--the quality of life perceived in the plan...and that achieved in the actual city. [There is] a constant play on this contrast; and yet the book never appears judgmental." --Gautam Bhatia Product Description Initiated in 1949, Chandigarh is the most visible example of a planned city in India. Here, Kalia provides a history of its planning and development, focusing on the major figures involved.
