About This Tour

The other Chandigarh – Pierre Jeanneret's socialist vision, still alive

While Le Corbusier drew the blueprints, it was Pierre Jeanneret who spent 15 years on the ground, designing the furniture, the housing blocks, the civic buildings and the everyday fabric of this utopian city. This tour uncovers that rarely told story.

From the first batch of government socialist housing – still functioning as tight-knit communities – to the insider civic life of Sector 17, the Ramsar-certified wetlands of Sukhna Lake, and the intimate communal spaces of Punjab University's heritage housing. A deep, rare, off-the-beaten-path Chandigarh.
