CHANDIGARH: Do you think Chandigarh is changing? Anil Singh Thakur, an architect and city planner who is now settled in Australia, says it has transformed and that too beyond the Le Corbusier model. Thakur was in the city to share the details of the research work done by him over seven years at The University of Melbourne, Australia. During the time of his research, he made 14 trips to Chandigarh.
"The studied villages turned out to be quite self organized without or with little help from the corporation or administration. Land was sold here by original owners and gradually hundreds of rooms were created for migrants under different regional and caste groups. All these were not planned," he said.
