Le Corbusier proposed to
build from scratch.
He proposed to run a
bulldozer over the existing
city, reserving only a few
precious historic monuments
and building on a clear site.
This caused a great outcry in the city council and he was termed a barbarian, but he
could not figure out why because for him, that was the only right way to do it.

traffic is increased by: the number of people in a city
the degree to which private transportation is more appealing(clean, fast, convenient, cheap) than public transportation
the average distance people travel per trip
the number of trips people must make each week
Therefore, is that we must increase the density of the
centres of our cities, where business affairs are carriedon.

CENTRE CITY
All the industrialist, scientist and artist were intended to have offices in the 24 skyscrapers located in the core of the city.
These towers provided work space for 4,00,000 to 6,00,000 people leaving 95 percent
of the ground area open. (Density of 1200 people / acre)
This left 95 percent open ground.
OUTSIDE CENTRE CITY
Residential areas were planned mainly of two types:
I. Six storied luxury apartment designed on step back principal (in rows) with 85
percent ground left open
II. More modest accommodations for workers, built around courtyards on a uniformgrid iron street with 48 percent ground left open.

The city centre had the sky scrapers that held the work places. This place had
all the restaurants, theatres, shopping complexes and other community
functions.
The residential area was away; surrounded by green belt. There was a
playground in front of each house, where the family could play or exercise
after work.

given a lot of importance, by the
open kitchen layout and theprovision of domestic help in the

For residences, he proposed the
