Cityscapes' is a six part series on six cities of India representing the diverse nature and histories of cities in India. 'Chandigarh' showcases the city of Chandigarh as a planned, modern city, significant as a symbol of a developing, progressive and free India. The film highlights Chandigarh's pragmatic mix of the functional and the aesthetic, romanticism blended with practicality. Born as a direct result of a violent and black period of Indian history- the partition, Chandigarh has acquired the unique distinction of being a capital to two states. The wide tree lined roads, unique architecture, greenery, the Rock Garden and its citizens, all merge and emerge to characterise a city of the future, with no baggage of the past.
