Which is the most well planned city in the world?

Chandigarh

I accidentally stumbled upon the rectangular plots of land in the map of India while exploring it. Zooming in, I found an entire city meticulously planned and arranged in rectangular blocks. The city, Chandigarh. 

• Design by Sectors.

The primary module of city’s design is a Sector, a neighborhood unit of size 800 meters x 1200 meters. It is a self-sufficient unit having shops, school, health centers and places of recreations and worship.

• Shopping streets and green sectors.

Each sector has a shopping street, and the shopping street of one sector connects  to that of the adjoining sector. Also every sector has a park and stretches to the green of the next sector.

• Landscaping

The plantation along the roads add to the beauty of the city, also providing the needed shelters over many of the city's roads. The city apparently has close to 100 different species of trees planted across all sectors! And enough open spaces for playgrounds like the one below.

• Roads and Transit

The roads are immaculately planned to ensure minimum traffic snags. The hierarchy of roads is made up of 7 V's. V1 for Arterial roads. V2 for major avenues. V3 for vehicular traffic. V4 for Shopping streets. The roads also include pedestrians paths and cycle tracks! 

Chandigarh is flawlessly beautiful in it's planning all credits to the Swiss and American architects.
