British Architect Stunned by Chandigarh's 'Non-Indian' Order

British architect Russell Henderson recently shared his captivating first impressions of Chandigarh, a city that profoundly impressed him with its exceptional organization and cleanliness. In a widely noted social media video, Henderson remarked that Chandigarh felt "nothing like India," a sentiment that has resonated with many.

During his exploration, Henderson observed the city's meticulously maintained wide pavements and distinct bicycle lanes, noting the absence of typical urban congestion. He lauded the forward-thinking urban planning that ensures the city remains uncongested and efficient for both vehicles and pedestrians.

Furthermore, Henderson emphasized Chandigarh's remarkable safety and pristine environment, stating he could not find any rubbish or litter during his extensive walks. His visit showcased a side of India often overlooked, highlighting the city's modern infrastructure and serene atmosphere.

Chandigarh, designed by Le Corbusier, is celebrated for its wide boulevards and sector-based neighborhood planning. The city, known as 'The City Beautiful,' offers tourist attractions like Sukhna Lake and the Rock Garden, with October to March being the ideal visiting period.
