Chandigarh is located in northwest India. It is not only a Union Territory, but also the capital of the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana. Chandigarh is the first ‘planned’ city of India. The city site was selected in 1948 after a careful survey, including an aerial reconnaissance.
The city has neatly laid out roads and parks, and wide boulevards lined by endless rows of trees. Most of the buildings are closely spaced and laid out in continuous rows. This is called ‘terrace housing‘.
