Explanation

Le Corbusier, the Swiss-French architect, designed Chandigarh as India's first planned city after independence in the 1950s. His master plan included the Capitol Complex with the High Court, Legislative Assembly, and Secretariat buildings. The city's grid-based layout and modernist architecture reflect his vision of organized urban planning. Lutyens designed New Delhi, not Chandigarh.
