Project Details

Brief Background

Chandigarh is a well planned city known all over the world for its architectural planning and landscape. The Master plan of the 'City beautiful' Chandigarh was prepared by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. It is a Union Territory (UT) of India and serves as capital of the States of Haryana & Punjab. The city was named after the mother goddess of power, Chandi, whose temple Chandi Mandir is located in the vicinity of the site selected for the city. The Chandigarh city is situated in a picturesque setting under the foot of Shivalik Hills at a height of 365 meters above the mean sea level. The city boundaries are defined by two seasonal rivulets - the Patiali ki Rao and Sukhna choe, with the beautiful backdrop of the Shiwalik hills.

Objective

The greening is an integral part of Urban Planning in UT Chandigarh. Tree plantation along avenues, open spaces, green belts around building complexes are the enthralling features of the city. A number of beautiful avenues with conspicuous tree species, well wooded forests along the periphery of city. 

Benefits
