Abstract :

 T Planning has been associated with terms like welfare, opportunities etc. But at the same time does planning reflect the aspiration of the masses? Or does it reflect the aspiration of the nation state? This article is an attempt to understand the governing principles and traces the social determinants which influenced the planning of Chandigarh.LeCorbusier, the primary architect of the city was well known for giving ‘ideological’ meaning to his architectural planning.This article attempts to unfold the various ideological meanings associated with planning and argues how it leads to ‘standardization’.
