Chandigarh was planned by Le Corbusier as a model city with extensive landscaping and greenery integrated into the city's design. He incorporated large open spaces, parks, and green belts throughout the city. Some of Chandigarh's most prominent green spaces include the Sukhna Lake, Leisure Valley Park, Rose Garden, and Rock Garden, which were carefully landscaped and provide residents with abundant natural areas. Over 60 years later, Chandigarh continues to stand out for its high quality of life and pollution-free environment supported by its extensive greenery.

Chandigarh is known all over the world as an outstanding example of architecture, planning and landscaping. The seeds of extensive landscaping and verdure were embedded in the city layout plan by its architect-planner Le Corbusier right at the beginning, with the provision of large number of open spaces, green belts, city parks and neighborhood parks.
CLIMATE AND DEMOGRAPHY Area - 114 sq kms Annual Rainfall (average) - 1110.7 mm Monsoon - July-September Prevalent Winds -From the North West to South East in Winter and reverse in Summer Chandigarh was planned for a population of half-a million. Demographic data indicate that between 1961 and 1971, the population increased by 144.59%,one of the highest for urban areas in India.
BACKROUND After the loss of Lahore, the idea of building a new capital for the Indian part of Punjab took form in 1948. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru said Let this be a new town, symbolic of freedom of India unfettered by the traditions of the past.. an expression of the nations faith in the future. The city is a product of Nehrus vision. A need for the Rehabilitating refugees A centre for governance A rich cultural legacy like Lahore A vision of the future
Planned with focus on urban design , architectural aesthetics , preservation of natural environment , conservation of buildings and open spaces , hierarchical road network Divided the human functions into circulation , living , working , care body and spirit with strict zoning City planning was against the traditional indian cities Replaced the native indian town plan into superblocks

Today, after nearly 60 years of its inception, the city stands out for its high quality of life and clean, relatively pollution free environment, unlike other growing urban areas in the country. citizens enjoy a direct relationship of the built-form with nature, and have abundant access to green spaces all over the city. The master plan of the city was prepared by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier Thus Chandigarh has been endowed with a great legacy of landscaping and greenery. The conservation of this green heritage in future is a major concern with regards to the rapid development of the city in the last few decades. Introduction
LANDSCAPING He made a simple analysis of the functional needs and aesthetic suitability for the various areas, devoting special attention to specific roads. Landscaping proceeded side by side with the construction of the city from the very inception. Three spaces were identified for special plantation: the roadsides, spaces around important buildings, parks and special features such as Sukhna Lake. Le Corbusier s contribution to landscaping was of categorizing tree forms.
Prominent flowering trees are gulmohar (Delonix regia), amaltas (Cassia fistula),kachnar (Bauhinea variegata), pink cassia (Cassia Javanica) and silver oak (Grevillea robusta). Among the conspicous non-flowering trees one finds kusum (Schleicheta trijuga)and pilkhan (Ficus infectoria) along roadsides. These trees, noted for their vast, thick spreading canopies form great vaulting shelters over many of the citys roads. In all, more than 100 different tree species have been planted in Chandigarh .
The landscaping of this city bases on careful observation of the vegetation of India. Selected ornamental trees, shrubs and climbers have been planted according of colour schemes to beautify it. In future planting and replacement, these principles must be kept in view. There should be no haphazard replacement so that the avenues retain their harmony and beauty. The Leisure Valley, the Rajindra Park and other parks shall be developed as parks only and no building other than already planned shall be permitted LANDSCAPING
The lake is a gift of the creators of Chandigarh to the citizens to be at one with nature, away from the city life. There shall be no commercial exploitation of the lake and its environment and its tranquility (calmness) shall be guaranteed by banning noises. The Sukhana Lake Sukhna Lake, a 3 km artificial rain-fed lake in Sector 1, was created in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe, a seasonal stream coming down from the Shivalik Hills.
A Hierarchy of Green Spaces can be observed in both the layout ranging from Public Greens at City Level to Semi- Private to Private Green Areas. 1.City Level Public Green Space with Artificial Water Body. 2.Free- Flowing Green Space, connecting the entire site. 3.Semi-Private Green Areas for neighborhood pockets . 4. Private Green Areas for Residential Units. Hierarchy of green areas
The Leisure Valley is a green sprawling space extending North-East to South-West along a seasonal riverlet gradient and was conceived by Le Corbusier as the lungs of the city. Apart from large Public Parks and special Botanical Gardens, it houses series of Fitness Trails, amphitheatres and spaces for open-air exhibitions. individual Residential Units are arranged around central The 8 km long Leisure Valley provides unique opportunity for a possible pedestrian link to the Capitol Complex of the city from its south-eastern end as part of the Green Corridor 5 if the green stretches are interconnected through pedestrian cycle

The 30-40 acre Zakir Hussain Rose Garden contains nearly 825 varieties of roses in it and more than 32,500 varieties of other medicinal plants and trees. gardens include the Garden of Fragrance in Sector 36, With its relaxing environment and verdant beauty, Rose Garden is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city of Chandigarh.
THE ROCK GARDEN Spread over several acres, this fantasy land designed by Padam Shri Nek Chand it is a vast open-air museum that showcases a vast array of natural rock forms and stones. The layout of the garden is based on the fantasy of the lost kingdom. Rock Garden, by its organic forms and non-geometric layout, offers an counterpoint to Chandigarhs stylised architecture and has also been recommended for heritage status. Rock Garden is located near the Sukhna Lake and has numerous sculptures made by using a variety of different discarded waste materials like frames, mudguards, forks, handle bars, metal wires, play marbles, porcelain, auto parts, broken bangles etc
DIVERSE OPEN SPACES IN CHANDIGARH GREEN BELTS ALONG MAIN AVENUES Besides the dedicated gardens and parks, green belts have been provided along the main avenues of the city Eg. Mango Garden belt along the Purv Marg which also acts as a buffer between the Industrial Area and the residential area.
