This article misses the mark in so so many ways. Chandigarh is pretty much the only livable city in the country!

- "unnecessarily large scale" is the reason that it is the only city in India that doesn't suffocate it's own residents

- wide avenues, open spaces and numerous public parks encourage families to step out of their residential sectors often. Walk into any park after 4pm during the week, and you will see children and adults of all ages exercising/ playing sports

- It is also one of the few places where the bureaucracy has enforced strict building codes to prevent the kind of construction creep you see in large tier 1 metropolitan centers
