Chandigarh became one of the earliest planned cities in post-independence India and is internationally known for its architecture and urban design. The master plan of the city was prepared by Le Corbusier, which built upon earlier plans created by architect Maciej Nowicki and the Albert Mayer. Most of the government buildings and housing in the city were designed by a team headed by Le Corbusier and architects Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry. Chandigarh's Capitol Complex—as part of a global ensemble of Le Corbusier's buildings—was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO at the 40th session of the World Heritage Conference in July 2016.
