Which of the following cities is an architecturally planned city?
Chandigarh
Chandigarh is correct.
Chandigarh was built after independence as the capital of Punjab (and later also Haryana) and was designed to a complete master plan by the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, with Pierre Jeanneret, Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew.
The city is laid out in a grid of self-contained sectors with planned roads, green belts and the Capitol Complex, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is regarded as India's first planned city after independence.
Mumbai and Bengaluru grew gradually over centuries rather than from a single architectural plan.
