Background
Chandigarh has long been recognized as one of the most planned cities of the country, with a global reputation for its urban design, architecture, and quality of life. As the city and the larger Tricity region (Chandigarh-Mohali-Panchkula) continue to evolve, they face a new generation of challenges shaped by climate change, rapid urbanization, and increasing demand for infrastructure and services. The question today is not just how to expand, but how to reimagine buildings and urban systems to sustain this legacy over the next century. This creates an opportunity for the Tricity to lead by example, demonstrating how a well-planned urban region can adapt to future demands while maintaining its identity and strengths.
