Houses Of Chandigarh

About the walk

Le Corbusier divided Chandigarh into different sectors, each quite similar to the traditional Indian 'mohalla' (covering 250 acres of area) The sector featured a green strip running north to south, bisected by a commercial road running east to west. The streets were organized in a diminishing hierarchy and labeled V1 through V8

  • V1: arterial roads that connect one city to another
  • V2: urban, city roads
  • V3: vehicular road surrounding a sector
  • V 4: shopping street of a sector
  • V5: distribution road meandering through a sector
  • V6 residential road
  • V7: pedestrian path
  • V8: cycle track. 

Each Sector is surrounded by V2 or V3 roads, with no buildings opening onto them and meant to be self-sufficient, with shopping and community facilities within walking distance.

This photography walk will allow you to explore the lanes and houses of Chandigarh like never before by giving you a better understanding of various nooks and corners of the city.
